Evgen Pharma plc (AIM: EVG), a clinical stage drug development company focused on the treatment of cancer and neurological conditions, announces that a trials-in-progress poster of the Company's Phase II trial of SFX-01 in metastatic breast cancer will be presented this week at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium 2018 in San Antonio, Texas.
The poster, entitled STEM: SFX-01 in the Treatment and Evaluation of Metastatic Breast Cancer, will be presented in a poster session on Wednesday 5 December 2018. The poster gives the background to SFX-01 along with a description of the STEM trial including its primary and second endpoints.
After a positive interim readout, recruitment in the STEM trial concluded in July this year. The final patient on the trial will take her last dose of SFX-01 before the end of December 2018, meaning that the final readout of the trial is expected in February or March 2019.
