"Oncology
The database lock for the phase III study evaluating aflibercept (VEGF Trap, alliance with Regeneron) as a thirdline
treatment for advanced ovarian cancer is due to be completed in the second quarter of 2008. Aflibercept has
a novel mechanism of action and its properties, as compared with monoclonal antibodies, give it the potential to
be a more powerful anti-angiogenesis agent with a broader spectrum of activity."

Observation: Are they combining PII ovarian and PII/III ascite into "PIII study"? No note for target date: "filing for approval", so they are not as optimistic as early 2007.

"Enrolment has started in 4 pivotal phase III studies:
- first-line treatment of hormone refractory prostate cancer (in association with Taxotere®/prednisone);
- second-line treatment of colorectal cancer (in association with the FOLFIRI regimen);
- second-line treatment of non small cell lung cancer (in association with Taxotere®);
- first-line treatment of pancreatic cancer (in association with gemcitabine)."
