DARIEN, Conn., Oct. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cytogel Pharma, LLC. is pleased to announce today the presentation at the American Society of Anesthesiologists of study results and completed analysis of a Phase I study of Cyt-1010. Cyt-1010 is a proprietary compound and a chemically stabilized analogue of endomorphin 1, a naturally occurring pain modulator. This trial was designed as a safety study in normal healthy volunteers with additional pharmacodynamic end points. At the doses tested (up to 0.15 mg/kg) Cyt-1010 was generally well tolerated, and no severe adverse events or evidence of respiratory depression were reported. The trial included additional tests to measure sensitivity to painful stimuli and statistically significant prolongation of the threshold time for cold pain sensation was recorded at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg. Cyt-1010 is being developed for the treatment of acute and chronic pain conditions, including neuropathic pain and post-operative pain.
