Procurement completed for Dicot's phase 1 studies
Uppsala, January 4, 2023. The pharmaceutical company Dicot announces the contracting of reputable Clinical Trial Consultants AB (CTC) for conducting clinical phase 1 studies intended to start in mid-2023. The studies will take place at the contracted company's research clinic in Uppsala.
Dicot is developing a new potency drug with the aim to treat erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation better than existing drugs. The company has earlier announced its intention to start clinical studies with the drug candidate LIB-01 in mid-2023.
As an important part of the preparations for starting clinical trials, Dicot has finalized the procurement process and selects CTC to conduct the phase 1 studies. CTC is a reputable CRO with a track record of over 400 completed studies for both small and large international pharmaceutical companies. CTC has five state-of-the-art clinical research units in Uppsala, Stockholm and Linköping. Dicot's phase 1 studies will take place at the clinical unit in Uppsala.
"CTC came out as the strongest candidate in our procurement process, in competition with several international companies. I'm convinced this will be a good collaboration built on high-level competence and great commitment from both parties. Our joint work starts already now in January," says Elin Trampe, CEO at Dicot.
"We are very excited about the opportunity to collaborate with a local innovative pharmaceutical company like Dicot, and together with them take their candidate LIB-01 into clinical trials for the first time", comments Anders Millerhovf, CEO at CTC.
