Plethora's PSD506 shows promise in OB and UUI

11 February 2008

UK-based Plethora Solutions Holdings, a specialist developer of products for the management of urological disorders, says that preliminary data from a trial of PSD506 indicate that the drug has potential application in the treatment of overactive bladder or urge incontinence. Plethora is developing the drug under a license from Swiss drug major Roche (Marketletter October 2, 2006).

The dose escalation study indicates that PSD506, a novel muscarcinic receptor subtype selective antagonist, at dosages of 20mg or over provides effective relief from the condition. Plethora added that the agent had been well tolerated and the antimuscarinic dry-mouth side effects associated with other drugs of this class had not been observed.
