In August, Dicot's phase 1 study was initiated, with single dosing of the participants. Concurrently, the second part of the study starts October 20, 2023 where safety of LIB-01 is now being studied with repeated dosing. Dicot's first clinical study in humans with the potency drug candidate LIB-01 started in August and is in full swing.

Initially, participants were administered a single dose, called Single Ascending Dose (SAD). Now, in parallel, the study is moving into next part where new participants receive repeated dosing, also called Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD). Today, the first screening visit takes place to identify participants for the MAD part's first dose group.

The screening means that applicants are examined based on a variety of selection criteria for participation in the study. As the company previously announced, this is a placebo-controlled phase 1 clinical trial with the primary objective to evaluate the safety profile of LIB-01 in humans. The entire study is double-blinded, which means that some participants receive LIB-01 and some receive a placebo, and that neither the participant nor the physician knows which of the two was dosed.
