About Promore Pharma (www.promorepharma.com)
Promore Pharma is a biopharmaceutical company specialized in the development of therapeutic peptides for the bioactive wound care market. The company’s aim is to develop two first-in-category products for indications with very few efficacious prescription pharmaceuticals, addressing high unmet medical need. Promore Pharma has two projects, PXL01 and LL-37, in late stage clinical phase. PXL01, that will be used to prevent post-surgical adhesions and scars, is being prepared for clinical phase III-studies on patients performing tendon repair surgery in the hand and LL-37 is prepared for a clinical phase IIb study on patients with venous leg ulcers. The product candidates can also be envisioned for other indications, such as preventing dermal scarring and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Rosetta Capital, Midroc New Technology and PharmaResearch Products Ltd are the main investors in Promore Pharma.
About PXL01
PXL01 is derived from a human anti-bacterial protein (lactoferrin), which is part of the innate immune system, with several modes of actions. The development of PXL01 is initially aiming at preventing postsurgical adhesions after tendon repair surgery. In a phase-II clinical study that has been completed by the company in several EU countries, it has been demonstrated that PXL01 is efficacious and safe.
About LL-37
LL-37 is based on a human antimicrobial peptide, which stimulates several processes in wound healing. LL-37 showed good efficacy in a clinical phase IIa study that was completed by the company. The product candidate can be combined with standard treatment and applied by nurses or potentially directly the patient.
