Wed, 29th Nov 2006 08:07 LONDON (AFX) - SR Pharma PLC said phase I of the clinical trial on using its RNA-interference
product candidate Atu027 RNAi in patients suffering from pancreatic cancer is scheduled to start in 2007.
In a research update, the AIM-listed biopharmaceutical company said its product was more effective in the prevention of metastases than Gemcitabine, an approved drug for palliative treatment.
The company said studies showed the therapeutic efficacy of its product in pre-clinical models of pancreatic cancer when compared to the standard care treatment and said data showed cancer growth was inhibited and prevented metastatic spread, with no adverse events.
