Medicilon assists Leado Pharma to obtain clinical approval for small molecule inhibitor LDS tablets targeting transient receptor potential channels

On July 28, 2021, the Class 1 innovative drug LDS tablets developed by Shanghai Leado Pharma Technology Co., Ltd. (Leado Pharma) received the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) Clinical Trial Approval Notice.

Shanghai Medicilon Inc. (Medicilon) provided a full set of preclinical research services including pharmacokinetics and safety evaluation in the development of LDS tablets.  Medicilon successfully assisted China’s first targeted transient receptor LDS, a small molecule inhibitor of potential channels, to enter the clinical trial stage.

LDS tablets are a class 1 innovative drug with global intellectual property rights incubated from the ion channel drug research and development platform of Leado Pharma. It is used for the treatment of fibromyalgia by selectively targeting transient receptor potential channels.  LDS tablets have the advantages of good analgesic effect, no addiction and no respiratory depression.  At present, there are limited treatment options for FMS patients, and LDS tablets are expected to bring new treatments to patients with fibromyalgia.  In addition, preclinical studies have shown that LDS tablets have the potential to treat a variety of neuralgias.

As an innovation-driven preclinical R&D CRO, Medicilon is fortunate to participate in the research that benefits patients with fibromyalgia, providing pharmacokinetic and safety evaluation tests for the development of LDS tablets, breaking through the limitations of traditional R&D technologies, overcoming the numerous difficulties and speeding up the clinical approval with the professionalism.

Medicilon congratulates Leado Pharma’s LDS tablets for obtaining clinical approval.  Medicilon is always on the way of insight into unmet medical needs, forward-looking innovations in new drug R&D technologies, and continuing to provide new drug developers with faster and better pre-clinical R&D services.
