Scynexis (SCYX) said Tuesday that it has initiated a phase 1 study of SCY-770 to treat autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease can cause pain, high blood pressure and kidney failure in patients.
The biotech company said the study will characterize the food-effect and define the pharmacokinetics of two dosing regimens for SCY-770 to support dose selection for the phase 2 study, which it said is on track for Q4.
Topline data for the phase 1 study is expected to be released in Q3, according to Scynexis.
