In collaboration with Kiora Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and The Royal Adelaide Hospital announced that dosing has commenced in the Phase 1 first-in-human trial for KIO-301. This trial represents a remarkable development in the treatment of people with the rare inherited condition, Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), which currently has no approved cure or standard treatment. Always at the forefront of full service pharmaceutical and medical device development worldwide, Accelagen's work is first and foremost about accelerating and improving the future of human health.

Currently enrolling a small group of RP patients, initial tests are currently being used to determine safety and tolerability of the experimental drug, as well as assessing whether patients have improved vision by evaluating their ability to identify objects, navigate through a mobility course and other ophthalmic and quality-of-life assessments. Also, the study is evaluating how the brain activity changes, specifically looking within the areas of image processing.
