Preclinical trials show potential for Trophos neuropathy agent

1 June 2008

French biopharmaceutical firm Trophos has published positive results of early preclinical trials for TRO19622, its drug candidate for the treatment of induced diabetic neuropathy in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.

The paper on the trial claims the daily oral compound improves motor nerve conduction and reverses neuropathic pain behavior. It also suggests the candidate may avoid side effects associated with current therapies and could even reverse the peripheral neuropathy induced by diabetes or chemotherapy, as well as treat neuropathic pain.
