LifeCycle Pharma Announces Positive Phase I Clinical Results for its Transplantation Product Candidate
LCP-Tacro Heads into US Phase II Clinical Trials for Organ Transplantation
LifeCycle Pharma has conducted a series of Phase I studies in more than 150 healthy volunteers to demonstrate the profile of LCP-Tacro under single-dose and multi-dose (steady-state) conditions. In addition to this, dose-linearity, food-effect and diurnal pharmacokinetic studies have been completed.
Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive medication to prevent rejection after organ transplantation. LCP-Tacro is being developed as a once-daily tablet version of tacrolimus, with improved bioavailability and reduced variability compared to both Astellas' twice daily version of tacrolimus (Prograf(R)) and its modified-release version of tacrolimus for organ transplants. This is expected to represent significant improvements for the patients.
