Description (French)
L'analogue de l'apeline de PEARKO Therapeutics sera synthétisé par Bachem, un producteur de peptides à usage clinique certifié BPF (Bonne pratiques de fabrication). Nous utiliserons les résultats de l'étude pour optimiser les formules intraveineuses et sous-cutanées de notre production biologique et à grande échelle. Au cours de la même période, Santé Canada, la Food and Drug Administration (FDA) et l'Agence européenne des médicaments (AEM) effectueront des dépôts réglementaires afin d'accroître le processus d'essais cliniques et la mise en marché internationale. L'achèvement de ces étapes permettra à PEARKO Therapeutics de franchir les dernières étapes du développement préclinique et de finaliser la demande de drogue nouvelle de recherche, mandatée par la FDA, en prévision des essais cliniques de phase I en 2022.
