Rock Creek Anatabloc lowers chronic inflammation, says study

PBR Staff Writer Published 31 January 2012

Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Star Scientific has announced the completion of human clinical trial showing that Anatabloc, the dietary supplement developed to provide anti-inflammatory support, lowers C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in subjects' blood.

Rock Creek is reporting initial results from Phase 2 of the RCP-006 study titled 'A Single Center, Single-Blind, Randomized, Crossover Pilot Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Anatabloc, a Dietary Supplement, in Reducing the Urge to Smoke in Daily Smokers, Followed by an Open-Label Extension Period.'

Phase 2 of the study was an open-label extension in which subjects were instructed to take two Anatabloc tablets three times per day for two weeks.

The data analysis examined the CRP and anatabine levels in the subjects' blood, first to establish a baseline, and then to assess levels with Anatabloc dosing.

Phase 1 of the study was a one-day trial to assess whether Anatabloc was as good as CigRx, the company's other dietary supplement, in reducing the urge to smoke, and results showed that CigRx and Anatabloc were equally effective.
