Orcrist files for early-stage trial

16 February 2009

Canada's Orcrist Bio, a biotechnology company developing stem cell-mobilizing pharmaceuticals, has filed a Phase I, open-label,  single-ascending-dose, safety study of HYC750, treatment for  chemotherapy-related blood cell depletion, in healthy male volunteers  with the European Competent Authority.

The goal of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability,  pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of HYC750, a patent-protected  formulation of hyaluronan. Orcrist utilized the regulatory expertise and  experience of Netherlands-based Kinesis Pharma to develop the clinical  trial submission.
