After independent review, study continues as planned with enrollment on track for completion in 2026
SEOUL, South Korea and FORT LEE, N.J., June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mezzion Pharma Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ: 140410) today announced the results of a planned independent, blinded statistical review of its ongoing global confirmatory Phase 3 FUEL-2 study evaluating udenafil, its investigational therapy for single ventricle heart disease with Fontan circulation.
After 50% of the planned study population completed the study's 26-week treatment period, an independent assessment was conducted to determine whether an increase in sample size would be required to maintain the study's planned statistical assumptions.
The independent review determined that no increase in sample size was required and recommended that the study continue as planned with the enrollment of 436 patients. Moreover, no changes were recommended to the study design, primary endpoint, statistical analysis plan, or projected study timelines.
"We believe the successful completion of this independent review marks an important milestone for the FUEL-2 program," said Dean Park, Chairman and CEO of Mezzion Pharma. "We remain focused on advancing udenafil toward becoming the first approved therapy specifically indicated for patients with single ventricle heart disease with Fontan circulation."
Mezzion Pharma has now completed all major planned statistical review milestones prior to topline data.
Single ventricle heart disease with Fontan circulation is a rare and serious form of congenital heart disease associated with significant long-term complications. Despite advances in surgical care, there are currently no approved therapies specifically indicated for this rare disease with unmet medical need.
