Recce Pharmaceuticals (RCE) has recruited the first cohort of patients for its Phase 1 intravenous clinical trial of its lead compound RECCE 327 (R327).

The trial is an ascending dose, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind study evaluating the safety and pharmacokinetics of R327 in 10 healthy male subjects.

The trial is being conducted at Adelaide’s CMAX clinical trial facility and will enrol 80 healthy male subjects in total.
