Pacylex Pharmaceuticals Begins Phase I Clinical Trial (Sept. 14, 2021).

 

Local startup Pacylex Pharmaceuticals Inc. today initiated the PCLX-001-01 Phase I clinical trial at the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton.  The focus of the trial will be the safety and tolerability of its lead anti-cancer drug, PCLX-001, and determination of an appropriate dose for future Phase II and III studies.  In the trial, PCLX-001 will be tested in a limited number of patients with lymphoma or solid tumour malignancies. 

 

Pacylex was formed around discoveries in the University of Alberta lab of Dr. Luc Berthiaume. The trial represents a successful translation of discovery research to human clinical testing, and highlights the role of the PP1P: to accelerate Alberta-based innovations to the clinic. This endeavour brings a novel new drug candidate to first-in-human testing.  For more information, please refer to the links below.
