TiGenix rheumatoid arthritis Phase IIa study successfully passes last safety hurdle
"With this last step, we have reached a key milestone in our Phase IIa trial in RA," said Eduardo Bravo, CEO of TiGenix. "The fact that the highest dose has proven safe is of major importance. In RA it ensures that we will not be held back by any dose-limiting factors and we will be able to move forward with the optimal treatment dose. But of almost equal importance is that, if required, we can expand the dosing range in other indications that we are exploring as well. With 6 months of follow-up, the current RA trial in 53 patients is expected to report meaningful results in H1 2013."
