Lipidor Announces Last Patient Out in Calcipotriol/AKVANO spray (AKP01) Phase III Study Targeting Psoriasis
Lipidor AB (publ) today reports that the last patient has completed treatment in the phase III study evaluating the efficacy of using a sprayable calcipotriol product against mild to moderate psoriasis. Results from the study are expected to be presented in December 2019.
Lipidor has developed a sprayable calcipotriol product, Calcipotriol/AKVANO 50 µg/g cutaneous solution (AKP01), formulated with the company’s lipid-based technology in order to provide more precise dosing, increased comfort, and non-touch treatment to patients.
The phase III study is a comparative, randomized and placebo-controlled study with data collected from 277 patients treated at 14 clinics across India treated over a period of 8 weeks. The study compares the therapeutic equivalence of the calcipotriol spray with a marketed calcipotriol ointment.
The study is conducted in collaboration with Cerbios-Pharma SA, specialized in the development and manufacturing of chemical and biological APIs, and Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd of India, which is responsible for the study.
Psoriasis is a chronic disease in which the immune system plays a central part. The disease affects between 2 and 3 percent of the world’s population.
