The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $350,000 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to Medosome Biotec LLC, a for-profit limited liability company. The grant, awarded on September 12, 2024, will support research and development to evaluate the safety and therapeutic potential of dichloroacetate (DCA) as a treatment for sepsis. Medosome Biotec will collaborate with researchers at the University of Florida, Wake Forest University, and Northwestern University to conduct pharmacokinetic, safety, and efficacy experiments on DCA in a porcine model of sepsis. The goal is to establish the chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) information required for an Investigational New Drug (IND) application, with the aim of initiating future clinical trials to evaluate DCA as a treatment for septic shock.
