Having stacked all its chips on the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treatment buloxibutid, Vicore Pharma’s bet may be paying off.
Vicore has dosed the first patient in a study assessing the effect of its angiotensin II type 2 receptor agonist (ATRAG) C21 on endothelial dysfunction in type-2-diabetes-mellitus patients.
Vicore Pharma has announced that the first patient has been dosed with its C21 candidate during a pivotal clinical study of endothelial dysfunction.
Stockholm, May 3, 2023 – Vicore Pharma Holding AB (STO: VICO) (“Vicore”), unlocking the potential of a new class of drugs – angiotensin II type 2 receptor agonists (ATRAGs), today announces the first patient dosed with C21 in a clinical study of endothelial dysfunction. nVicore is conducting a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial evaluating the effect of ATRAGs on endothelial dysfunction (reflecting blood vessel health) in patients with type-2-diabetes-mellitus (T2DM)[1], a condition where endothelial dysfunction is central in the development of organ damage. The trial will be conducted with Vicore’s first ATRAG C21 and will use EndoPAT®[2], an FDA approved, non-invasive, simple, and robust technology to detect endothelial dysfunction. The first patient has now been dosed and results from the trial are expected in Q4, 2023. If proof-of-principle is reached, this would both strengthen the view that ATRAGs may be useful in several major common diseases, and that the EndoPAT® technique can be used for exploring therapeutic efficacy in diseases driven by endothelial dysfunction as well as for establishing the active dose-range for new ATRAGs.
