Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. has announced plans to file a Phase II, dose escalation, clinical trial protocol in Switzerland for use of Oxycyte® in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Oxycyte is the Company's perfluorocarbon (PFC) therapeutic oxygen carrier.
The announcement came in a presentation by Chris J. Stern, DBA, company chairman and CEO, at the BIO CEO & Investor Conference in New York. During the presentation, Stern said that the company is in the final stages of preparation to file the protocol in Switzerland. “Depending on the timing of the review process there, we could begin enrolling patients in the second quarter,” said Stern.
In addition, Stern said in the presentation that the company is targeting to have a topical wound care product ready to come to market as early as the end of 2009.
