Recipharm AB Supplies Clinical Trial Material for FDA Approved Phase IIb Study Sponsored by PledPharma

About PledPharma
PledPharma is a Swedish specialty pharma company that develops a new medicine, PledOx®, for prevention of the severe side effects that patients develop as a consequence of chemotherapy treatment of cancer. Many times the treatment cannot be carried out as planned due to very difficult side effects. The current market for supportive cancer care is some SEK 72 billion. PledOx is a medicine within the patent protected substance class PLED, which protects the body’s normal cells against oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a condition where an overabundance of harmful oxygen molecules (free oxygen radicals) has been formed.
