PROLOR Biotech Announces Positive Preclinical Results from Comparative Study of its Long-Acting Clotting Factor VIIa
PROLOR Biotech, Inc. (NYSE: PBTH), today reported positive results from a comparative study of its biobetter longer-acting version of the hemophilia drug Factor VIIa (Factor VIIa-CTP) in hemophilic mice. The study was designed to measure the potential increase in survival rates, thrombin levels and in vivo recovery of Factor VIIa-CTP when compared with commercially available recombinant Factor VIIa.
In vivo recovery is a pharmacokinetic parameter used by researchers that compares actual clotting activity post-dosing to anticipated clotting activity. PROLOR previously announced positive results in an earlier comparative study that measured the increase in half-life and clotting activity of Factor VIIa-CTP compared to commercially available Factor VIIa.
