Promore Pharma (Nasdaq: PROMO), a Swedish developer of therapeutic peptides, plans to expand the indications of its lead compound, the anti-adhesion and anti-scarring agent PXL01, to explore the feasibility of using the compound for the prevention of dermal scarring.

Formerly known as Pergamum, Promore shares rose 8.47% to 16.00 Swedish kronor in morning trading today on the Stockholm Exchange.

PXL01 is currently in clinical Phase III development for the prevention of post-surgical adhesions after tendon repair surgery in the hand. Promore has now planned for a clinical Phase I/II study in the field of dermal scarring. The study will be performed in Sweden and co-ordinated by Fredrik Huss, Associate Professor in Plastic Surgery at Uppsala University.
