In May 2023, the Phase IIa trial for adiposis dolorosa observed an increase in PTSR (Post-Treatment Symptom Relief) with the administration of CBL-514, a drug developed by Caliway Biopharmaceuticals. The administration of the medicine led to a 10% rise in post-traumatic stress response (PTSR), bringing it to a level of 19%, in patients diagnosed with adiposis dolorosa (also referred to as Dercum's disease or Anders disease). A randomized, open-label research was conducted to investigate the efficacy of CBL-514 injections in treating lipomas associated with Dercum's disease. Researchers are currently investigating the use of a chemical named CBL-514 to address conditions such as cellulite, Dercum's disease, oedematous fibrosclerotic panniculopathy, and benign tumors like lipomas. The medicine candidate is administered through either subcutaneous or intravenous injections.
