Recce Pharmaceuticals has reported that the Independent Safety Committee recommended advancement of the Phase I clinical trial of RECCE 327 (R327).
The latest development comes after the committee analysed trial data from ten healthy participants who received intravenous (IV) doses of R327, which showed favourable safety and tolerability.
The committee further recommended progressing the trial to Cohort 4 to analyse a 1,000mg IV dose of R327.
An intravenous and topical treatment, RECCE 327 is being developed to treat serious and possibly serious infections caused by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including their superbug forms.
The randomised, ascending dose, placebo-controlled, single-dose, parallel, double-blind trial will analyse the safety and pharmacokinetics of R327 in seven to ten healthy participants per dose, across eight dosing cohorts of 50-16,000mg.
It is being carried out at the CMAX clinical trial facility in the Australian city of Adelaide.

Recce noted that the trial is on track to conclude dosing in Phase I trial by the second quarter of this year.
