Keryx to terminate Phase IV trial for Sulonex

The company previously said that the trial had been suspended pending an interim analysis, following which the company would make a decision regarding whether the trial ought to be continued or terminated.

Based on a review of the available proteinuria data, Sulonex did not appear to be different than placebo. The study was not terminated by the Drug Safety and Monitoring Committee for a safety problem or safety signal.
