SAN DIEGO -- Hollis-Eden Pharmaceuticals Inc. (HEPH) said preclinical results show that HE2100 inhibited human breast tumor cell proliferation in both estrogen receptor positive and estrogen receptor negative cells.
Investigational drug candidate HE2100 is a second-generation immune modulator licensed to Hollis-Eden.
In a press release Thursday, the company said the preclinical study was designed to measure the effects of HE2100 on tumor cell proliferation in-vitro over six days from two different human breast cancer cell lines compared with a negative vehicle control.
The study showed that, in-vitro, HE2100 inhibits human breast cancer tumor cell growth whether or not estrogen receptor was present and was more effective when estrogen hormone was added.
The company said the data is encouraging because most breast cancer therapies on the market act on the estrogen receptor, and the experiment showed that HE2100 inhibited breast cancer tumor growth independent of the estrogen receptor.
Results of the study were published in the current issue of Cancer Detection and Prevention.
