ALTASCIENCES
Altasciences announced today that they have been selected by Leidos Health to guide and support the development of RAP-103 peptide as a chemical nerve agent therapeutic on behalf of the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium and funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
Altasciences will conduct the required Safety Testing, all IND-enabling studies (non-GLP and GLP), the necessary Phase I clinical trials, and associated bioanalytical analysis.
“Altasciences’ preclinical and clinical teams are collaborating with Leidos Health on this important program. Together, we have developed a plan to move RAP-103 from preclinical, safely through early clinical trials. As a mid-size CRO specializing in a flexible, innovative approach to providing comprehensive early stage drug development, we have the experience and team in place to complete this program successfully, on time and within budget,” explained Steve Mason, Vice President, Site Operations, at Altasciences.
