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.

The study will be performed in Sweden and co-ordinated by Fredrik Huss, Associate Professor in Plastic Surgery at Uppsala University.
