Prolanta™
Phase I clinical trials, anticipated to begin in Q4 2010, will
be used to assess the safety (pharmacovigilance), tolerability, pharmacokinetics
and
pharmacodynamics of Prolanta. Approximately 45 patients will be
evaluated in the first clinical trial of Prolanta in metastatic breast
cancer patients.
Currently, Oncolix is working with researchers at Clemson
University in Greenville, SC, and M.D. Anderson
Cancer Center in Houston, TX to conduct preclinical studies to evaluate
the effect of Prolanta on cancer stem cells and ovarian cancer and to test
Prolanta in combination with other anticancer agents used to treat breast and
ovarian cancer. The results of these preclinical combination studies will be
helpful in the planning of Phase II clinical trials.
As
treatment with Prolanta has the potential to improve all of the current breast
cancer therapies and may also have efficacy in triple negative breast tumors
(estrogen and progesterone receptor and HER2/neu negative), the clinical
development path for Prolanta has many options. Oncolix will be determining the
best strategy while preclinical safety studies are ongoing; these studies are
expected to be completed by the end of Q2 2010.
