Dicot Pharma has submitted clinical trial application for phase 2a trial
Uppsala, Sweden, July 8, 2024. Dicot Pharma announces today that a clinical trial application for a phase 2a trial with the drug candidate LIB-01, has been submitted. The trial is planned to start in the fourth quarter of 2024 as previously communicated. The trial is fully funded with the amount secured in advance in the announced rights issue that the company intends to carry out in August.
Dicot is developing a new potency drug with the aim to treat erectile dysfunction better than existing drugs on the market. With good results from the company's recently completed phase 1 trial, a clinical trial application for a phase 2a trial has now been submitted. It is a so-called "proof of concept", with the main objective of demonstrating that LIB-01 can improve erectile function in patients with erectile dysfunction. The trial, which is placebo-controlled and double-blind, will include approximately 140 participants and will be conducted at clinics in Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands. The start of the trial is planned for the fourth quarter of 2024, when the first patient is expected to start treatment with LIB-01. Through the commitments obtained in advance in the rights issue that the company intends to carry out in August, the trial is fully financed.
"We continue to focus on driving the drug development of LIB-01 forward. With the submitted clinical trial application and the capital secured from the upcoming rights issue we can continue to maintain a high pace and in accordance with our schedule. We are very much looking forward to starting this exciting development phase and to keeping you updated with information about the study", comments Elin Trampe, CEO at Dicot Pharma.
