Gacyclidine (Beaufour-Ipsen).

Abstract

Beaufour-Ipsen is developing gacyclidine (GK-11) for the potential treatment of traumatic brain injury. Phase II clinical trials of the compound for this indication had been completed as of October 1999 and the company is looking for a partnership before undertaking further clinical development for this and, possibly, other indications [344879], [346265], [386763]. Phase II trials for acute spinal cord injury gave disappointing results and development for this indication has been discontinued [344879].
