HANA BIOSCIENCES INITIATES TALOTREXIN CLINICAL TRIALS

Hana Biosciences has initiated a multicenter, multinational Phase II clinical trial with Talotrexin (PT-523) in relapsed or refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The primary objective of this Phase II portion of an ongoing Phase I/II open-label study is to demonstrate an improvement in overall survival. Secondary objectives are evaluation of safety, overall response rate, time to progression, and progression free survival. Relapsed or refractory NSCLC patients who have failed at least two lines of treatment including standard chemotherapy and/or an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor are eligible to enroll in the study.
