Exciting news for our portfolio company Vaderis who announced positive results from its randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Proof-of-Concept clinical trial in patients suffering from Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)
This could be a transformative outcome for patients living with #osteoarthritis, where currently available analgesics are limited by adverse events, addiction liabilities and poor efficacy
In this global multi-centre Phase 2 study of >500 participants, LEVI-04 met all primary and secondary efficacy endpoints with significant analgesia across all measures for all doses vs placebo
LEVI-04 was well tolerated, and detailed examination found no increased incidence of rapidly progressive osteoarthritis
Our CEO, Dr. Jayson Dallas, shares with @PharmaVoice how our unique therapeutic approach is focused on metabolic rate, not just weight loss, and has the potential to redefine the treatment landscape for #CardiometabolicDiseases. Read more: https://t.co/9ISP4jInPX

We created Levicept with cofounder Simon Westbrook as a @medicxi newco in 2012. Under a leadership team spearheaded by Eliot and Simon as CSO, we strongly believe that LEVI-04 can effectively target the clinically proven neurotrophin pain pathways with a superior safety profile.
Delighted to welcome @EliotForster as CEO of Levicept. We look forward to working with you on the ongoing phase II studies for Levi-04, our once-a-month injectable for the treatment of osteoarthritis and chronic pain.
