Is cathelicidin the same as LL-37?

Cathelicidin is the family name listed as an alias on this site's LL-37 profile. LL-37 is the 37-residue active peptide from the only human cathelicidin, molecular weight 4,493.3 daltons. The names are not two drugs. The human record on that page is a 34-person topical ulcer pilot and a 148-person Phase 2b that missed its full-population healing endpoint. Sharing a family name is not an approval. Full record at /compounds/ll-37.
