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.

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.
