Next step for Xenome
Thursday, 25 September, 2008
Privately held biotech Xenome has begun a Phase II trial of lead candidate Xen2174 for the control of acute post-operative pain.
The trial will enrol approximately 200 patients at multiple clinical sites in the US.
The aim is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Xen2174 administered as a single intrathecal administration to patients undergoing unilateral bunionectomy, a standard model for the assessment of acute pain therapies.
Xenome is also in Phase II trials of Xen2174 for chronic pain.
