Shanghai, China – [Date] – Medicilon is proud to have supported Luye Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Luye Pharma") in securing clinical trial approval for LY09607, a new drug aimed at improving post-operative pain management.
LY09607, developed by Luye Pharma, has recently been approved for clinical trials in China. This drug addresses a significant gap in post-operative pain management, an issue affecting millions globally, with over 313 million surgeries performed annually. Approximately 75% of patients experience moderate to severe pain, often managed with opioids. However, opioid use is limited by addiction risks and side effects, highlighting the need for alternatives. LY09607 offers a promising new option for long-term pain relief, complementing the success of Luye Pharma’s previous pain management product, Mimixin®, approved in June 2024.
Medicilon has played a key role in the development of LY09607 by providing comprehensive preclinical research services, including a variety of pain evaluation models. These models - such as the hot plate, tail-flick, and Von Frey tests, are essential for testing the efficacy and safety of pain relief drugs. Medicilon’s rigorous validation of these models supports the development of safer, more effective treatments for pain.
Medicilon extends its congratulations to Luye Pharma on this significant milestone. We look forward to the continued success of LY09607 in clinical trials and remain committed to supporting global drug development through our cutting-edge preclinical services.
