Dicot in preparation for clinical phase 2a trial

Press release: Uppsala, Sweden, April 12, 2024. The pharmaceutical company Dicot, which recently announced that a reporting from the last part of the phase 1 study will be published at the end of April, is in parallel preparing for a clinical phase 2a trial with its potency drug candidate. Today, the company can announce that a partner has been contracted to conduct the trial and that the study drug has been produced by Thermo Fisher Scientific, the contracted manufacturer.

Dicot will soon report the results from the last part in the clinical phase 1 study. In parallel, preparatory activities are underway to be able to start a clinical phase 2a study in the second half of 2024. An important part of the preparations is the procurement of a Clinical Research Organization to conduct the study. Dicot has now chosen Clinical Trial Consultants AB, who also leads the clinical work in the current phase 1 study. CTC is a reputable contract research organization with over 400 completed studies for both smaller and larger international pharmaceutical companies.

Furthermore, the American contract manufacturer Thermo Fisher Scientific has now completed production of the study drug according to Good Manufacturing Practice to be used in the study.

"It’s great that these important pieces of the puzzle are in place. It also means that we have the pleasure of continuing to collaborate with these two highly professional companies," says Elin Trampe, Dicot's CEO.
