scPharmaceuticals announces first patient enrolled in study of SCP-111

scPharmaceuticals announced that it has enrolled the first participant in the pivotal pharmacokinetic study of SCP-111, an investigational, low volume, pH neutral formulation of furosemide administered via an auto-injector. The auto-injector is being developed as a complement to the FDA approved On-body Infusor in an effort to provide patients with a subcutaneous injection and prescribers with treatment flexibility. If approved, the Company believes the auto-injector also has the potential to meaningfully reduce manufacturing costs. “The development of a low volume furosemide formulation that can be administered subcutaneously via an auto-injector is a potential long-term growth driver for our Company, and we are very pleased to have now enrolled the first participant in this trial,” stated John Tucker, Chief Executive Officer of scPharmaceuticals. “We anticipate that this will be an efficient study and look forward to topline data in the third quarter that we believe, if successful, would allow us to submit an sNDA to the FDA by year-end.”
