Frequently asked questions about Over-encapsulated amlodipine

What is over-encapsulated amlodipine used for?

Over-encapsulated amlodipine is used for the treatment of hypertension, a condition of persistently high blood pressure. It is being developed as a small molecule therapy for this cardiovascular indication. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development, meaning it is still investigational and has not yet been approved for use.

Who is developing over-encapsulated amlodipine?

Over-encapsulated amlodipine is being developed by Purple Biotech Ltd., a biopharmaceutical company. The company's stock is traded under the ticker symbol PPBT. Purple Biotech is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this drug for the treatment of hypertension.

What phase is over-encapsulated amlodipine in?

Over-encapsulated amlodipine is in Phase 3 clinical development for hypertension. This is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet received regulatory approval. The Phase 3 trial has been completed, and the results will help determine whether the drug can be submitted for approval.

What clinical trials is over-encapsulated amlodipine in?

Over-encapsulated amlodipine has one completed clinical trial, identified as NCT02172040. This Phase 3 study evaluated the effect of celecoxib on the efficacy and safety of amlodipine in subjects with hypertension requiring antihypertensive therapy. The trial enrolled 152 participants in the United Kingdom and was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled.

Is over-encapsulated amlodipine the same as amlodipine?

Over-encapsulated amlodipine is a formulation of amlodipine, a well-known calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure. The over-encapsulation refers to a specific method of drug delivery. In the clinical trial, the drug was studied in combination with celecoxib to assess potential interactions.
