"Previous clinical and preclinical studies have shown the potential utility of tgDCC-E1A in slowing tumor growth and sensitizing tumors to chemotherapeutic agents. Additionally, many ovarian cancers are extremely aggressive and can be associated with resistance to chemotherapy, metastasis and poor prognosis. Data supporting the ability of E1A to down-regulate expression of certain oncogenes further strengthens the rationale for developing tgDCC-E1A as a treatment for ovarian cancer," said Barrie J. Carter, Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Targeted Genetics Corporation. "We are pleased that the study results have shown tgDCC-E1A to be well-tolerated, with a good safety profile. We look forward to presenting results of the completed study at the end of the year."
