Helix receives approval to conduct a clinical trial of Topical Interferon Alpha-2b in Sweden
The trial is intended to assess the efficacy and safety of Topical Interferon Alpha-2b compared with placebo using a double-blind, randomized design. The trial will be conducted at multiple centers in Sweden, under the direction of Dr. Pal Wolner-Hanssen, the coordinating investigator who is located at the University Hospital of Lund.
Based on having received this approval, the Company intends to commence preparations to conduct the trial, with a view to beginning the trial in concert with raising additional required capital.
Helix's Topical Interferon Alpha-2b is currently being assessed clinically in a multi-center Phase II study in Germany for the treatment of Low-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (LSIL), a form of cervical dysplasia, in women who are positive for HPV infection. The Company is developing Topical Interferon Alpha-2b for two indications, LSIL and ano-genital warts.
