In one presentation, complete regressions of hormone-refractory human DU-145 prostate tumors growing in nude mice were reported when irofulven was used in combination with Taxotere® (docetaxel). Complete regressions were observed in 17 of 20 animals administered the drugs in combination, whereas Taxotere alone produced no complete regressions and a submaximal dose of irofulven produced complete regressions in two of 10 animals. MGI now plans to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate this promising drug combination in cancer patients.
