Phase I trial launches into oral drug for radioactive contamination

Drug Discovery World

A first-in-human clinical trial of an experimental oral drug for removing radioactive contaminants from inside the body has begun. Internal radioactive contamination occurs when radioactive elements are absorbed through wounded skin, inhaled or ingested. Just two drugs are approved for removing internal radioactive contamination.
