Antisoma says phase I cancer drug trials positive; phase II trials begin 2007

LONDON (AFX) - Antisoma PLC, the cancer drug maker, announced positive results from phase I tests on a range of cancers of one of its development drugs and said it plans phase II trials for the treatment in blood and renal cancer.

The drug is a nucleic acid-based, so-called 'aptamer' treatment currently known as AS1411.

'Findings in renal cancer are particularly strong,' the company said. 'Antisoma will therefore proceed to a phase II trial in this indication. Antisoma will also initiate a phase II trial in a blood cancer indication. Both trials are expected to start in 2007.'

Chief executive Glyn Edwards said: 'With these positive results, we intend to push the aptamer-based drug forward through parallel trials in renal and other cancers'.
