Longeveron FDA Type C meeting: ELPIS II trial no longer deemed pivotal; top-line data due Aug 2026
Longeveron Inc.
- FDA stated RVEF is not an appropriate primary endpoint; no new endpoint can be agreed while trial blinded due to NIH interim analysis.
- ELPIS II is no longer referred to as pivotal by FDA, reversing prior 2024 discussion.
- FDA willing to meet after trial completion; objective measures (mortality, transplant, MACE) could support efficacy.
- Company will submit a Sponsor Statistical Analysis Plan with composite primary endpoint for FDA review.
- Top-line Phase 2b results for laromestrocel in HLHS still expected in August 2026.
