Lexicon Drug Candidate for Cognitive Disorders Completes Phase I Trial
Lexicon Pharmaceuticals announced that LX6171, an oral drug candidate for cognitive disorders, successfully completed Phase I clinical trials.
According to Lexicon, LX6171 was well-tolerated at all dose levels and showed excellent systemic exposure.
Over the seven-day trial, no dose-limiting toxicities were observed and exposure levels supported a once-daily dosing regimen, the company said.
The recently completed Phase Ib study of LX6171 was designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending-dose study to evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics over seven days of dosing in normal healthy young (age 18-50) and elderly (age 65-80) volunteers, the company added.
The company said it expects to receive full audited results of its Phase I trials in the third quarter and anticipates filing with European regulatory authorities for approval of its Phase II plans in the fourth quarter.
