Sosei reports strong early results for SD118

15 December 2008

Japan's Sosei has reported strong results from two Phase I trials of its SD118, a compound in development for the treatment of neuropathic pain.

The studies were both double-blind, placebo-controlled and dose escalating and were designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of SD118 administered in an oral formulation. The compound is being jointly developed with Australia's NeuroDiscovery.

Chief executive Shinichi Tamura said: "I am delighted that SD118 demonstrated a good safety profile, especially considering the wide range of doses tested. This project is now ready to move into the next step of development."
