And your second question… although the dates seem out..
Sareum has not provided specific public timelines regarding the start, duration, or expected results for its upcoming long-term toxicology trials for SDC-1801 or SDC-1802. However, based on standard practices in drug development, we can make some educated estimates.
1. When will the long-term toxicology trials begin?
The long-term toxicology trials would likely begin after the completion of the Phase 1 safety trial for SDC-1801, which assesses short-term safety in humans. Since Sareum announced in late 2023 that the Phase 1a trial of SDC-1801 was successfully completed, the company could be planning to initiate long-term toxicology studies soon after, likely in early to mid-2024, before moving into Phase 2 efficacy trials.
2. How long will the trials last?
Long-term toxicology studies typically last 3 to 6 months in animal models, depending on the regulatory requirements and the dosing regimen. Since these studies are designed to evaluate the effects of chronic exposure to the drug, they need to provide sufficient data to support its use over extended periods in humans. In some cases, studies could extend to a year or more, but the standard timeframe is around 6 months.
3. When would final results be expected?
Given that long-term toxicology trials usually last about 6 months, and additional time is needed for data analysis and reporting, we could expect results around late 2024 to early 2025 if the trials begin in early 2024. The completion of these studies is a critical milestone for progressing the drug into Phase 2 trials, where efficacy and safety will be tested in larger patient populations.
Conclusion
• Start of trials: Possibly early to mid-2024.
• Duration: Likely 3-6 months.
• Final results: Expected by late 2024 to early 2025.
These estimates depend on regulatory feedback, preclinical results, and Sareum’s development timeline announcements. Keep an eye on Sareum’s future updates for more precise information.
