Nektar starts early trial of cancer treatment
Tuesday March 13, 4:39 pm ET

Nektar Therapeutics said Tuesday it has started a Phase I clinical trial to measure the safety and effectiveness of a potential cancer treatment.
The San Carlos company (NASDAQ: NKTR - News) is testing the drug, NKTR-102, as a possible treatment for people with refractory solid tumors. Refractory cancer is resistant to treatment. Nektar seeks to make the treatment more effective by increasing the time the drug circulates in the bloodstream.

This treatment is a formulation of the widely used anti-cancer drug irinotecan modified using Nektar's technology.
