Massachusetts, USA-based EPIX Pharmaceuticals says that it has met its enrollment target of 330 patients in US centers for its Phase IIb trial of PRX-00023 in major depressive disorder. As a result, the firm expects to announce the findings of this trial in the first quarter of 2008.
Furthermore, EPIX has completed enrollment of its Phase IIa study of PRX-03140 in Alzheimer's disease and reaffirmed that it is on track to announce the results of this by the end of 2007.
Michael Kauffman, chief executive of EPIX, said: "we believe that the rapid pace at which we were able to recruit patients into the Phase IIb MDD trial is indicative of the interest in, and need for, new and improved treatments for depression."
