Recce Pharmaceuticals (ASX:RCE) said phase two clinical trials of its topical gel Recce 327 (R327G) for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) showed that the gel is safe and well-tolerated with no serious adverse effects on patients, according to a Monday filing with the Australian bourse.
After 14 days of treatment, 27 out of 29 patients treated with R327G achieved the primary efficacy endpoint, the filing said.
The study's assessments observed wound healing, with the potential for full recovery after 14 days, the filing added.
Based on the trial's results, experts believe the company's registrational phase 3 study for diabetic foot infections can achieve a statistically "significant" positive endpoint after enrolling around 100 patients, the filing added.
Shares of the company rose past 2% in recent Monday trade.
