PLANEGG-MARTINSRIED, Germany — The Food and Drug Administration has granted orphan drug designation to a cancer treatment in mid-stage development made by German drug maker 4SC, the company said Tuesday.
4SC announced that it received the designation for resminostat, currently in phase-2 clinical trials as a treatment for hepatocellular cancer, or HCC. The FDA grants orphan drug designation to drugs for diseases that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States.
HCC is a liver cancer resulting from hepatitis infection and liver cirrhosis due to alcoholism. Despite its relative rarity in North America and Europe, it is the world’s sixth most common cancer and the third-leading cause of cancer-related death, with a particularly high prevalence in Southeast Asia due to high rates of hepatitis B infections in the region. 作者: wkx323 时间: 2011-7-13 09:08

题为“更新阶段的临床I / II期试验在抗索拉非尼的肝细胞癌(HCC)患者的HDAC抑制剂Resminostat - 住房研究”的海报,包括新的临时数据I / II期研究在肝癌的住房。数据证实了此前报道临床活动方面的趋势。该试验是评估70HCC患者,它必须显示索拉非尼(多吉美)之前进入该研究的第一线治疗下辐射证明了他们的疾病进展。研究治疗6周后,11/18(61%)患者评估确认的日期显示肿瘤稳定。研究治疗12周后,8/16(50%)患者的评估显示连续索拉非尼和resminostat或resminostat单独的病情稳定。研究药物仍然是安全和耐受性良好。这项研究预计在2011年第二期结果报告。
the poster titled 'Clinical update on the Phase I/II trial of HDAC Inhibitor Resminostat in Patients with Sorafenib-Resistant Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) - the SHELTER Study' includes new interim data from the Phase I/II SHELTER study in HCC. The data confirm previously reported trends with regard to clinical activity. The trial is evaluating up to 70HCC patients, which must show a radiologically proven progression of their disease under first line therapy with sorafenib (Nexavar) prior to entry into the study. After 6 weeks of study therapy, eleven out of eighteen (61%) patients assessed to date show confirmed tumor stabilization. After 12 weeks of study therapy, eight out of 16 (50%) patients assessed displayed continuous stable disease either on sorafenib and resminostat or resminostat alone. The study medication continues to be safe and well tolerated. This study is expected to report Phase II results in 2011. 作者: StephenW 时间: 2011-7-14 20:08
