San Francisco, October 12th, 2017 – Recardio Inc. successfully completes Phase 1 study for Dutogliptin.
Recardio Inc. today announced that it has successfully completed a Phase 1 single and multiple ascending dose clinical study with dutogliptin. This study enrolled 45 healthy humans at a single site in Vienna, Austria with AGES approval under a US IND.
“The Phase 1 single and multiple ascending dose study with dutogliptin confirmed the drug’s safety and established an understanding of the subcutaneous pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, enabling us to select the dose for Phase 2.” said Darrell Nix, Chief Scientific Officer of Recardio.
Recardio is now initiating a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, safety and efficacy Phase 2 Study of dutogliptin in combination with filgrastim in early recovery post-myocardial infarction.
“Opening an IND and completion of the Phase 1 study represent important milestones in our efforts to bring this important treatment to patients with acute myocardial infarction.” said Roman Schenk, Executive Chairman of Recardio. “This Phase 1 study is also the foundation for our development of a therapeutic platform with dutogliptin as a regenerative medication for patients with a range of cardiovascular diseases.”
