Mr Bruce Schmidt reports
The Science Council of BC, through its Technology BC program, has recognized IGT Pharma by its
involvement in the clinical trials process for the new cancer drug, Anhydrovinblastine (AVLB). The
criterion for the selection of the AVLB project was based upon the merits of the concept as an
approvable cancer treatment, IGT's ability to successfully manage and finance the process as well as the
economic benefits to the province.
The Science Council will contribute financially towards the specialized animal testing and chemical
analysis that will comprise the basis of an investigational new drug application (IND). The IND
submission will be made to both the Canadian Health Protection Branch and the US Food and Drug
Administration to allow for phase 1 clinical trials in humans.
The first treatment indication selected for AVLB will be non-small cell lung cancer, the form of cancer
most commonly associated with smoking.
