Pila Pharma AB announced that the study material to be used in three-month preclinical studies has received a certificate of analysis and is thus ready to use. As announced in August 2021, the production of a new XEN-D0501 API for the planned preclinical safety studies was outsourced to Almac Group. This production has now been completed as Almac has verified that the final product complies with the specifications and has issued a certificate of analysis.

This in turn means that Pila Pharma's development of a new diabetes drug is going according to plan, and that the company can now proceed towards the planned longer preclinical studies that are necessary to be able to carry out a clinical phase 2b study.
