PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lipella Pharmaceuticals Inc., a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on improving cancer survivorship, today announced it has begun recruiting patients in the company's phase 2a clinical trial to study the dose-dependent, safety and efficacy of LP-10 (liposomal tacrolimus) for the treatment of hemorrhagic cystitis.
"We are encouraged to be able to provide LP-10 to qualified patients," commented Jonathan Kaufman, Lipella's Chief Executive Officer. "Two clinical sites have started patient screening and recruitment, and we look forward to opening additional sites in the near future."
About Hemorrhagic Cystitis
Radiation used to treat prostate, colon, uterine, cervical and other pelvic cancers can cause chronic, painful urinary inflammation and blood loss called hemorrhagic cystitis. Certain chemotherapies (such as cyclophosphamide) can also cause this painful form of urinary bleeding. The blood loss, associated with hemorrhagic cystitis can lead to surgery, and can be fatal. There are currently no adequate therapies available for the treatment of moderate to severe hemorrhagic cystitis patients.
