Antisoma's AS1411 granted EU Orphan Drug Status for renal and pancreatic cancer
24-Feb-2006
AS1411 has shown promise in patients with renal cancer: of three who participated in a phase I trial, two showed long-term stable disease and one a near-complete response. An extension of this trial is recruiting additional renal cancer patients and will yield new data during 2006. Antisoma expects renal cancer to be an important indication for later-stage trials: the Company will seek to conduct an accelerated clinical development programme.
