Telomir Pharmaceuticals announces collaboration with Argenta

Telomir Pharmaceuticals announced that Telomir and global animal health research company Argenta have agreed to begin a three to six-months study on the efficacy of Telomir-1 as a treatment for osteoarthritis and other diseases of aging in canines. The study will evaluate the efficacy of Telomir-1 for mitigating the progression of osteoarthritis based on symptomatic, radiographic, gross pathologic and histopathologic evaluations. In addition, Telomir believes that this study could be used as part of its pre-clinicial program for eventually evaluating Telomir-1 in humans. Chris Chapman, MD, Co-founder, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Telomir Pharmaceuticals said, “Working with Argenta, a leading worldwide animal health research company, this study has the potential to demonstrate both the efficacy of Telomir-1 as well as a benign safety profile. We believe that Telomir-1 will offer an attractive treatment for this indication. Just as important, we believe that the results of this trial could be used to enable our submission of an Investigation New Drug Application to the FDA to study the potential effect of Telomir-1 on osteoarthritis in humans.”
