Novelos Therapeutics announces continued encouraging results in ongoing phase 2 ovarian cancer trial
"I am encouraged by these results in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, with NOV-002 (in combination with carboplatin) apparently slowing disease progression in over half of the treated patients. Most women who have failed three lines of chemotherapy would be expected to progress in about eight weeks. I am excited to present the trial results at ASCO," said Dr. Carolyn Krasner, medical oncologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center and the Principal Investigator.
Detailed results of this trial will be presented as a poster at the 2008 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) taking place May 30 - June 3 in Chicago, Illinois.
