Island Pharma gearing up to start ISLA-101 trial for dengue fever

Island Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX:ILA) CEO and managing director Dr David Foster tells Proactive the company is progressing towards a Single Ascending Dose study for its lead asset, ISLA-101, with preparatory work largely complete and key agreements signed. ISLA-101 is a well-known drug candidate that Island is repurposing for the prevention and treatment of dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases. With the Single Ascending Dose study slated to begin next month, Island has now appointed Beyond Drug Development as the Contract Research Organisation to run the study.
