iCoat Medical, a clinical stage pharmaceutical company focusing on reducing and preventing ischemia reperfusion injuries (IRI) during organ transplantation, today announced that it will proceed with its Phase 2b study EMPIRe as the next step in the clinical development of iCM012 in deceased-donor kidney transplantation.
“We have had fruitful and constructive discussions with the regulatory authorities, and a phase 2b study demonstrating efficacy is judged by iCoat to be regarded as the logical next step by regulatory authorities, building on the promising data generated by the already completed Phase 1/2a study ATMIRe. It will give valuable information about the design of any additional study that might potentially be required”, said iCoat Medical’s CEO Peder Waern.
The randomised, controlled, double-blind phase 2b efficacy study, which is planned to start in 2024, will include approximately 100 patients and be performed at selected high-quality sites in Europe and the U.S. The potential for conditional approval, given sufficiently convincing data generated by the Phase 2b study, will later be discussed with the regulatory authorities.
