Cantargia said that the treatment of healthy volunteers can be commenced shortly after receiving the approval of the application, which is expected as early as the first half of this year.

Cantargia CEO Göran Forsberg said: “We are truly excited about the progress in the CAN10 programme, demonstrating a good safety profile and potent treatment effects in several models of life-threatening inflammatory diseases.

“We are now ready to apply for approval to start the first clinical trial for this unique and promising lead candidate.”

CAN10 is an antibody against IL1RAP and is being developed to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, with initial focus on myocarditis and systemic sclerosis.
