After securing regulatory approval, Rock Creek aims to undertake a phase I trial to review the safety, tolerability and dose escalation of Anatabine Citrate with the UK-based contract research organisation Quotient Clinical.

Quotient Clinical will employ its Rapid Formulation development And Clinical Testing (RapidFACT) service to test novel, oral, modified release Anatabine Citrate formulations that have been developed jointly with Rock Creek.

Anatabine citrate is a small molecule, cholinergic agonist which shows anti-inflammatory pharmacological characteristics.

Rock Creek said the anti-inflammatory effects have been demonstrated through pre-clinical studies resulting in peer reviewed and published scientific journal articles, covering models of Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s Disease, and Auto-Immune Thyroiditis.
