Scarless Laboratories 公布第一/二期臨床試驗於疤痕減少的正面結果

　　
Los Angeles, California–Scarless Laboratories, Inc., a biotechnology company with a platform technology in scar reduction and wound healing, announced today that it has completed its First-in-Human Phase 1/2a clinical study for improvement in scar appearance and wound healing in patients undergoing elective abdominoplasty.

Scarless 的平台技術核心在於其主力候選藥物 SLI-F06，這是一種新型胜肽，先前已在大型動物模式中展現安全性與初步療效。此次臨床結果顯示，SLI-F06 在人體試驗中同樣具有良好安全性，並能有效改善急性疤痕外觀，相較於安慰劑對照組具有顯著差異。

In a 22-patient clinical study conducted at 3 Investigative sites in the United States, SLI-F06 treated study arm showed significant improvement in scar appearance when compared to vehicle (placebo). With proof of concept and safety complete Scarless’ clinical plans include further study including dose optimization in abdominoplasty and in scar revision and treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers.“

Completion of our first Phase 1/2a clinical study is a major milestone for Scarless” said Dr. Soo “and we look forward to continued development and expansion with our SLI-F06 platform technology to help the millions of people who are burdened with untreated or inadequately treated scars and wounds.”

The economic and physiological burden of scaring is staggering. There are an estimated 12 million traumatic lacerations treated in the U.S. emergency rooms each year, 250 million surgical incisions created worldwide every year, and 11 million burns severe enough to warrant medical treatment worldwide.  In the U.S alone, over $20 billion per year are spent on the treatment and management of scars.  Scars can be associated with severe psychological, physical, and functional complications that erode an individual’s quality of life. Currently  there are no approved drugs or biologics that can adequately address the existing unmet need for effective therapies in the multi-billion-dollar scar and wound healing markets.
