DBP: Clinical trial of Inofer: last patient out
Next step is that the company, in collaboration with a certified analytical laboratory in Sweden, initiates the analysis of the collected patient samples.
"I am very pleased that the inclusion process went well and that "last patient out" took place in Q2 according to the plan",- comments Igor Lokot, CEO of Double Bond Pharmaceutical and Drugsson AB. "We look forward to receive the analyzed data by the end of the year and we expect it to prove Inofer to increase the iron levels in heart failure patients."
More about iron deficiency and heart failure: About 15% of the world's population is suffering from iron deficiency. About 250,000 people in Sweden have symptomatic heart failure and half of them have iron deficiency at the same time. This combination of diagnoses leads to increased severity of symptoms and often to hospitalizations. Treatment with common iron tablets does not work due to insufficient intestinal uptake. In order to treat iron deficiency in heart failure patients, iron-containing drugs must currently be injected intravenously in a healthcare facility, which is resource-intensive. If it appears that ferrous succinate tablets can treat iron deficiency in heart failure patients, it would be a significant benefit for patients and for the health care, as treatment may be performed at home.
