Tasly Pharmaceuticals selects ICON for phase III T89 trial

Monday, November 21, 2011 04:52 PM

ICON has been selected by Tasly Pharmaceuticals for the company’s global phase III T89 trial. T89, also known as Dantonic pill, aims to become the first traditional Chinese medicine to receive FDA approval in the United States. Dantonic pill is a botanical product for the treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris due to coronary heart disease. It is a modernized version of a traditional Chinese herbal medicine and was approved by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) of China in 1993. Since then, more than 2 billion doses have been used by over 10 million patients. 

Tasly Pharmaceuticals is conducting two global phase III trials for the Dantonic pill. ICON has been awarded the 3-arm phase III clinical trial and will also be providing IVRS, data management and central laboratory services for both global trials. 

“Dantonic pill global phase III studies are pioneering projects. There are a number of innovative components in the R&D of this drug,” commented Dr. Henry Sun, president of Tasly Pharmaceuticals, and vice president of Tasly Group. “When choosing a CRO for these important phase III trials we sought a company that had a large global infrastructure supported by the most advanced regional testing facilities. In ICON we have found a trusted development partner with all of these attributes and one that also has a strong reputation for delivering quality clinical programs.”
