Zealand Pharma reports safe and well‑tolerated Phase 1 results for Kv1.3 blocker ZP9830

Zealand Pharma said its investigational Kv1.3 ion channel blocker ZP9830 was safe and well‑tolerated in a four‑week Phase 1 trial, with no dose‑limiting safety issues or serious adverse events. The study also showed supportive pharmacokinetic data. The company will continue development with a Phase 1b study in plaque psoriasis and another autoimmune indication.
