Summary
Technophage identified a promising compound, Eletriptan hydrobromide, that intends to use as a repurposed drug, for the treatment of acute spinal cord injury (SCI) in human subjects. Eletriptan hydrobromide is a well characterized molecule, that has been clinically available for over two decades for the treatment of migraines. It presents a good and manageable safety profile, including for the regimen selected for this trial, and it is generally well tolerated, with minimal side effects. This is an important consideration to have when using repurposed drugs for the treatment of other indications. Technophage believes that the preclinical data collected, in combination with the acceptable safety profile of Eletriptan hydrobromide, support its use as a repurposed drug for the treatment of SCI in humans.
