Jyong Biotech Ltd. has announced updated statistical analyses from its Phase II clinical trial of MCS-8 (PCP), an investigational plant-derived drug candidate, conducted in Taiwan. The results, which have already been presented, indicate that after two years of treatment, subjects receiving MCS-8 showed a statistically significant reduction in total cholesterol levels compared to baseline (P = 0.036). Additionally, while a statistically significant increase in serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels was observed in the placebo group (P = 0.024), no such increase occurred in the MCS-8 group. Based on these findings, Jyong Biotech is evaluating the feasibility of expanding MCS-8's indications to include lipid management, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular diseases. MCS-8 remains an investigational drug and has not been approved for commercial use in any jurisdiction.
