SuperGen Says Decitabine May Play Significant Cancer Role
Dow Jones Newswires

SAN RAMON, Calif. -- SuperGen Inc. (SUPG) said data from several studies show that its decitabine may play a "significant role" in the future therapy of hematologic and solid cancers.

The data was presented at Mount Sinai School of Medicine's XVIII Chemotherapy Foundation Symposium.

In a press release Wednesday, SuperGen said three studies of decitabine to treat myelodysplastic syndrome in 125 patients showed an overall response rate of 49%.

An additional study using decitabine to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia in 81 patients had a 62% response rate among patients in chronic phase of the disease.

On Nov. 2, the company said decitabine generated a response in 100% of the patients tested in a Phase I/II clinical study designed to establish safety and efficacy in the treatment of sickle cell anemia
