About PILA PHARMA

PILA PHARMA is a privately held clinical stage pharmaceutical company based in Malmö, Sweden.

PILA PHARMA is developing a TRPV1 antagonist, XEN-D0501, as a novel type of oral anti-diabetic agent.
XEN-D0501 was in-licensed in 2016 and was prior to that found to be safe in people without diabetes.
The maximal tolerable dose in this population was set to bi-daily doses of 4 mg.

Pila Pharma has conducted 2 clinical trials to investigate the safety of XEN-D0501 in people with type-2 diabetes. It was found that it is safe to administer single doses of 1, 2, 4 and 8 mg XEN-D0501 (PP-CT01, Phase 2a). Likewise, bi-daily doses of 4 mg for 28 days (PP-CT02, Phase 2a) in people with type 2 diabetes was safe without any SAE’s.

The next milestone will be to investigate the safety and efficacy of XEN-D0501 when dosing for 3 months in people with type 2 diabetes (Phase 2b).
Pila Pharma is currently fundraising for that as well as for a pipeline including an orphan indication.
