First patient in treatment in RhoVac's clinical phase IIb study in Sweden

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --  RhoVac AB ("RhoVac") announces today, on September 17 2020, that the first patient in Sweden is enrolled in the company's clinical phase IIb study in prostate cancer, a study named RhoVac-002 ("BRaVac").

The first patient in Sweden is enrolled in the clinical study, called BRaVac. This clinical trial phase IIb-study is a randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blind study, with the primary objective of evaluating if treatment with the drug candidate RV001 can prevent or limit the development of advanced prostate cancer after curative intent treatment. The clinical phase IIb study is an international, multicenter study, which will recruit over 175 patients in six European countries (Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Germany and Great Britain) and the US. In Sweden, the study will be conducted at university hospitals all around Sweden.

CEO Anders Månsson comments: "As a Swedish company we think it is particularly rewarding to note that we now start enrolling patients in Sweden. It is an important milestone in the RV001 project".
