SASKATOON, Saskatchewan--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AdeTherapeutics, Inc. received Health Canada approval in November to conduct a double-blind randomized placebo controlled study in 30 patients to test its therapeutic to reduce adhesion (scar tissue) formation following laparoscopic procedure to remove an ectopic pregnancy.
Designed by surgeons, the trial is powered to potentially establish standard of care. The novel mechanism, which modulates normal healing process, is also being studied in other surgical areas of high unmet medical need.
The trial will be conducted at teaching hospitals in Canada with first patient enrolment expected in December 2011.
According to the Royal College of Obstetrics & Gynecology Journal Special Report on Adhesions, post-surgical scarring occurs in 93% of surgeries causing serious complications and costly re-admissions. United States National Institute for Heatlh (NIH) reported that only 1 in 3 women suffering an ectopic are able to have a baby.
The therapeutic is safe and easy to use for surgeons. The drug delivery system includes a common catheter attached to a Luer-Lock adapter. The drug is drawn up in a syringe and attached to the Luer-Lock adapter. At the end of the procedure, the catheter is thread down the trocar and the drug is evenly distributed to the surgical site.
AdeTherapeutics announced today a strategic partnership and collaboration with Numoda Corporation and Numoda Capital Innovations out of Philadelphia, PA, USA. Numoda will be responsible for helping AdeTherapeutics move its extensive portfolio of assets through clinical development, preparing it for regulatory approval and partnering.
