Highlights

  • Medicus Pharma collaborates with Swanielle to explore expanding its Basal Cell Carcinoma clinical study into Southeast Asia.

  • Interim findings will be submitted to the FDA in 2025 for a potential pivotal trial transition.

Medicus Pharma (TSXV:MDCX) operates in the biopharmaceutical sector, focusing on innovative solutions for Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), a common form of skin cancer. The company has initiated collaboration with Swanielle, a healthcare consulting firm, to explore expanding its Phase 2 clinical study into Southeast Asia. This initiative seeks to identify suitable pharmaceutical or biotech partners within the region.

Phase 2 Study Overview

The ongoing trial, SKNJCT-003, assesses the investigational product D-MNA for its efficacy and safety at two dose levels. The study follows a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled format and is currently being conducted at nine clinical sites across the United States. An interim data analysis is expected in 2025, with findings to be submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration. Medicus Pharma aims to align its clinical pathway and explore transitioning the trial into a pivotal stage.

Collaboration with Swanielle

The agreement with Swanielle, effective from December 2024, focuses on enhancing the clinical program by expanding its reach into Southeast Asia. This collaboration aims to gather additional efficacy and safety data, essential for strengthening the trial’s overall framework. Swanielle’s role includes facilitating connections with potential pharmaceutical partners to support the study’s progress.

Historical Context and Future Plans

The SKNJCT-003 trial builds on Medicus Pharma’s earlier Phase 1 study, SKNJCT-001, completed in 2021. This initial study confirmed the safety and tolerability of D-MNA. The current expansion plans highlight the company’s efforts to advance its non-invasive treatment options for BCC, with a potential shift toward a pivotal clinical trial.
