NEW YORK, Nov. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seelos Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEEL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today released its third quarter pipeline update.
“Seelos continued to make significant progress in the third quarter on several of our programs”, said Raj Mehra, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of Seelos Therapeutics. “We expect screening and dosing to commence in the phase IIb/III trial in Sanfilippo syndrome in the US for SLS-005, and in the PK/PD/DDI studies for SLS-002. As a result, we envision multiple clinical studies in these two programs next year. Getting these studies launched in consultation with the FDA, completing a financing, and ringing the opening bell at Nasdaq have kept us very busy and has continued to raise awareness of our company.”
“IND enabling work has also begun in SLS-008,” added Tim Whitaker, MD, Head of R&D. “We plan to study SLS-008 in a pediatric orphan indication, and we are exploring other potential target indications as well.”
