Meditech begins second stage of Phase II
Monday, 06 December, 2004
Meditech Research (ASX:MTR) has commenced the second stage of its Phase II trial of HyCAMP, its proprietary formulation of chemotherapeutic drug irinotecan in combination with hyaluronic acid.
The trial will examine the safety and efficacy of HyCAMP and compare it to irinotecan alone in 86 patients previously treated with 5-fluorouracil. The trial is expected to be completed in mid-2006.
In an earlier uncontrolled study testing HyCAMP in twelve patients, the treatment showed similar efficacy with improved safety.
