Meldex sees progress in DBP121 development

12 November 2007

UK-based specialty pharmaceutical company Meldex says that its developmental smoking cessation product DBP121 significantly reduced nicotine cravings in a volunteer study. The firm added that this effect was rapid, occurring within a minute of administration.

DBP121 utilizes the firm's patented Soluleaves formulation to create an orally-dissolving film that releases nicotine. Meldex said that, based on findings from the volunteer study and in line with the requirements of an unnamed preferred commercial partner, it intends to conduct a pharmacokinetic dose-ranging assessment scheduled to complete early next year.
