Elocalcitol achieves positive results in Ph IIb BPH trial

21 October 2007

Italian biopharmaceutical firm BioXell SpA says that Phase IIb data from a trial of its drug elocalcitol in benign prostatic hyperplasia indicate that the drug effectively arrests prostate growth to a statistically significant level. The firm also reported that the drug had a positive impact on secondary parameters such as urination urgency, frequency and nocturia, as well as on flow rate.

BioXell said that analysis of the data is still ongoing and that more detailed findings will be presented at its upcoming R&D day in Zurich, Switzerland, on October 17.
