Halcygen Pharmaceuticals (ASX: HGN) has demonstrated the effectiveness of the company's SUBA-itraconazole antifungal in a recent pharmacokinetic trial.

The trial was the first of three pharmacokinetic studies the company is conducting for the Investigational New Drug [IND] application recently approved by the FDA.

Halcygen was able to prove that SUBA-itraconazole in a 'half-dose' format gives comparable pharmacokinetic levels to a full dose of itraconazole market leader Sporanox.

All three pharmacokinetic trials should be complete by the end of the year.
