Scandion Oncology A/S today announced that the company has obtained approval from the German regulatory authorities to initiate clinical trials in Germany with SCO-101 in the PANTAX Ib study.
The German medicines agency (Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte, BfArM) and the German ethics committee have given approval, allowing Scandion Oncology to expand the PANTAX Ib study to Germany.
“We are very pleased to receive this German approval as BfArM is highly regarded and known for having tough critera. The approval is important for the PANTAX Ib study, but it also opens the door to starting trials in Germany with SCO-101 in other indications. We will communicate more about our plans and strategy at our Capital Markets Day on September 8,” said Bo Rode Hansen, President & CEO of Scandion Oncology.
