Today, Dicot Pharma announces that the recruitment of participants for the company's clinical phase 2a study is advancing at a steady rate, and that half of the planned 140 participants have now been dosed.

"We set an ambitious recruitment plan, and thanks to the efficient work of our clinical partners and high level of interest in participating in the study, we have managed to maintain a high recruitment rate," says Charlotta Gauffin, CSO at Dicot Pharma.

All participating men have erectile dysfunction and have been in a stable relationship for at least six months. To evaluate the effect of LIB-01 on erectile function, they respond to questions from the standardized questionnaire International Index of Erectile Function. In addition, participants continuously fill out a form of diary after each sexual intercourse.

About the phase 2a study
The purpose of the Phase 2a study is to evaluate the efficacy of LIB-01 in men with erectile dysfunction. The study is expected to include 140 participants and is being conducted at six clinics in Sweden (Uppsala, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Linköping), Denmark (Herlev) and the Netherlands (Groningen). Each person will participate in the study for eight weeks after dosing. The trial is double blind and placebo controlled. This means that neither the clinical staff administering the study drug, nor the participants, know which research subjects are receiving LIB-01 and which are receiving placebo. The clinical part of the study is expected to last until mid-2025. This will be followed by a statistical analysis before the results can be reported.
