Frequently asked questions about Alpha, gamma, beta, and delta tocopherols

What is Alpha, gamma, beta, and delta tocopherols used for in End-stage Renal Disease?

Alpha, gamma, beta, and delta tocopherols are a small molecule combination of vitamin E forms being investigated for use in End-stage Renal Disease. The therapy is being studied in hemodialysis patients to evaluate the provision of antioxidant therapy. It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development.

What does Alpha, gamma, beta, and delta tocopherols target?

Alpha, gamma, beta, and delta tocopherols are forms of vitamin E, which act as antioxidants. The therapy is being studied for its potential to provide antioxidant effects in patients with End-stage Renal Disease undergoing hemodialysis. The clinical trial is designed to assess the impact of this antioxidant therapy.

Who makes Alpha, gamma, beta, and delta tocopherols?

Alpha, gamma, beta, and delta tocopherols are being developed by Fresenius Medical Care AG, a company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol FMS. The therapy is a small molecule combination of vitamin E forms being studied for End-stage Renal Disease.

What phase is Alpha, gamma, beta, and delta tocopherols in?

Alpha, gamma, beta, and delta tocopherols is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational therapy for End-stage Renal Disease and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The therapy is being studied in a completed Phase 2 trial.

What clinical trials is Alpha, gamma, beta, and delta tocopherols in?

Alpha, gamma, beta, and delta tocopherols has been studied in one clinical trial, NCT00237718, titled 'Provision of Antioxidant Therapy in Hemodialysis (PATH) Study'. This Phase 2 trial was completed and enrolled 385 participants with End-stage Renal Disease in the United States.

Is Alpha, gamma, beta, and delta tocopherols the same as vitamin E?

Alpha, gamma, beta, and delta tocopherols are the four forms of vitamin E. This therapy combines these tocopherols as a small molecule antioxidant treatment being investigated for End-stage Renal Disease. It is being studied in a Phase 2 clinical trial for patients on hemodialysis.
