Recce Pharmaceuticals (RCE) has recruited the first cohort of patients for its Phase 1 intravenous clinical trial of its lead compound RECCE 327 (R327).

The trial is an ascending dose, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind study evaluating the safety and pharmacokinetics of R327 in 10 healthy male subjects.
