Oncolytics Biotech Inc. Completes Dose Escalation in Combination REOLYSIN/Docetaxel Trial
The trial (REO 010) has two components. The first is an open-label, dose-escalating, non-randomized study of REOLYSIN(R) given intravenously with docetaxel every three weeks. Standard dosages of docetaxel were delivered to patients with escalating dosages of REOLYSIN(R) intravenously. The second component of the trial includes the enrolment of a further nine patients at the top dose of REOLYSIN(R) in combination with a standard dosage of docetaxel.
"We have completed the dose escalation stage of the study," said Prof. Pandha. "Patients enrolled had previously undergone significant treatment with combination chemotherapy. The combination of REOLYSIN(R) and taxotere was safe, well tolerated with no obvious toxicity related specifically to REOLYSIN(R). Efficacy of the combination was encouraging: both objective anti-tumour responses and disease stabilization were observed radiologically."
