Processa Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: PCSA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing products to improve the survival and/or quality of life for patients with unmet medical needs, today announced that it has enrolled its first patient in the Phase 2A clinical trial of PCS12852 in patients with moderate to severe gastroparesis. A chronic gastric motility disorder in which the stomach does not empty food as quickly as it should, gastroparesis results in potentially serious forms of heartburn, nausea, vomiting and bloating for millions of patients in the U.S. “We are very pleased to announce that we have randomized the first patient in our PCS12852 Phase 2A study for the treatment of patients with gastroparesis,” said Dr. Sian Bigora, chief development officer at Processa. “In our previous Phase 2A clinical study in constipation patients, the gastric emptying rate significantly improved while on PCS12852 with no safety concerns. We expect this study to show a similar effect on the gastric emptying rate as well as provide us with valuable data on the effect of PCS12852 on the symptoms associated with gastroparesis in both diabetic and idiopathic gastroparesis patients. Information from the study will then be used to further design our Phase 2B study.”
