Cyrano Therapeutics, a clinical-stage regenerative medicine firm led by President and CEO Rick Geoffrion, is creating treatments for those who suffer from taste and smell loss.
The Phase 2 FLAVOUR experiment is a multi-dose, multi-site, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical investigation involving 150 subjects that aims to treat post-viral hyposmia with CYR-064. Up to fifteen locations around the US will participate in the trial.
