Omeros chairman and CEO Dr Gregory Demopulos said the company intends to complete the Phase I trial and commence studies in schizophrenia patients.
"While preparing for the next set of OMS824 studies, our pipeline continues to advance toward additional near-term milestones – Phase III data for OMS103HP this month, an NDA submission next quarter and, for as many as three additional programs, entry into the clinic in 2013," Demopulos said.
OMS824 was well-tolerated in the SAD study in which expected pharmacological effects were established in healthy subjects.
