Beyond the fundamental safety and tolerability endpoints for the trial, the study is providing accurate pharmacokinetic information about the uptake, distribution, metabolism and elimination of the compound in humans. As such, VAL201 continues to address its endpoints in its first-in-human study.
-- A late-stage study designed to determine the overall effectiveness of VAL201 and the most effective therapeutic strategies for its use in disease management, is now possible. This late-stage study will be designed and set up, in parallel to the conclusion of the current early-stage Phase I/IIa trial.
VAL201 has been developed in collaboration with Cancer Research (CRUK) and is a decapeptide with potential in treating hormone-dependent and hormone-independent prostate cancer, currently a poorly served multi-billion dollar commercial market.
