DOW JONES NEWSWIRES.

Introgen Therapeutics Inc. (INGN) said Monday that updated Phase II data shows a "significant correlation" between abnormal p53, tumor responses and increased survival following Advexin therapy in patients with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.


"These findings indicate important relationships between increased tumor responses and survival and the predictive abnormal p53 biomarker that is the target of Advexin treatment," said John Nemunaitis, medical director of the Mary Crowley Medical Research Center, in a statement.

"We now have the ability to match patients with a treatment that may improve their survival, and if borne out in the ongoing Phase III clinical trials now undergoing analyses, could fulfill the promise of molecularly targeted cancer therapies."

The data were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago.

Snip.

Again, no mention was made about trying to match survival with left handed patients.<g>
