Sparrow Pharmaceuticals Announces First Patient Dosed in RESCUE, a Phase 2 Clinical Trial
The devoted team Sparrow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., dedicated to developing innovative therapies to address unmet needs in both endocrinology and rheumatology, are excited to share some great news. The first patient has been dosed in the phase 2 clinical trial, for the treatment of ACTC-dependent Cushing’s syndrome.
“Dosing our first patient in this phase 2 trial is an important milestone in our clinical development process of SPI-62. Cushing is a devastating rare disease with debilitating morbidities such as depression, bone loss, and diabetes, and if left untreated, high levels of mortality. Current treatments have limited efficacy or serious side effects, so there is a pressing need for new treatments that help these patients mitigate the effects of hypercortisolism.” -Frank Czerwiec, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of Sparrow
