Peregrine Receives Regulatory Approval in India for New Cotara® Brain Cancer Clinical Trial
Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PPHM) has received regulatory approval in India for a new clinical trial of its lead tumor necrosis therapy (TNT) agent Cotara®, to test its safety and efficacy in treating glioblastoma multiforme, a deadly form of brain cancer. Cotara is currently being studied in a multi-center U.S. glioblastoma trial, and the results from this trial in India is eypected to support the future development and commercialization of Cotara.
"We believe this new clinical trial will be a cornerstone of our future plans to develop Cotara for the treatment of this deadly form of cancer," said Steven W. King, president and CEO of Peregrine. "We are moving this program forward in India because of the high level of experience of the participating neurosurgeons with CED delivery, the state-of-the-art facilities of the medical centers involved and the fact that the contract research organization overseeing the trial is highly experienced in successfully running similar glioblastoma trials with many of the investigators who will be involved with our study."
The study will be conducted in 7 clinical centers, and may enroll up to 40 patients with glioblastoma who have experienced their first relapse. Enrollment is expected to be completed by the end of 2007.
