US inhaled drug developer InCarda Therapeutics has launched a subsidiary business in Australia in preparation for its first clinical trial, which is scheduled for the first half of 2016, the company said. According to InCarda, it is already manufacturing and testing formulations in Australia and has entered into agreements with Australian CROs.
InCarda President and CEO Grace E. Colon commented, “Australia has become an important region for medical research given its resident world-class clinicians, many of whom are involved in conducting clinical trials, as well as its strong collaborators for pharmaceutical development. Establishing a subsidiary in Australia makes excellent sense for InCarda given the subsidies we will benefit from as well as the vast infrastructure available to us as we prepare to enter the clinic with our first product targeting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.”
