Excalibur Medicines Limited, a subsidiary of Excalibur Healthcare Services Ltd., announced that the clinical team will report on the ARCADIA trial in September.
Excalibur Medicines Ltd (“EML”) has secured exclusive rights to and owns the patents on a drug, AZD1656, which is being developed as a potential therapeutic for people with diabetes suffering from COVID-19. The ARCADIA trial which took place across 31 sites was completed in July this year.
The research project was arranged and structured by Professor Sir Chris Evans, Chairman and CEO of Excalibur Healthcare Services, through its subsidiary, Excalibur Medicines Ltd. Sir Chris worked closely with Professor John Martin and his team at St George Street, a UK-based biomedical research charity, which secured the initial project and permission to run the trial from AstraZeneca.
The aim of the ARCADIA trial is to determine whether AZD1656 improves clinical outcomes in diabetic patients hospitalised with COVID-19. The World Health Organisation’s (WHO) 8-point Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement will be used as the standard methodology for measuring patient outcomes. As at date of publication, 156 patients have been recruited and have completed treatment. The data is now being assessed and it is the intention of EML to seek a sale of the drug, a license or partnership deal as soon as possible after the data is published.
