Este acordo ressalta nosso compromisso de acelerar a inovação para pacientes com câncer e estamos entusiasmados com a oportunidade de construir uma ciência rigorosa de vértices e avançar esses programas líderes. Os dois programas de estágio clínico representam abordagens de primeira classe para inibir o reparo do DNA Caminhos que são fundamentais para a sobrevivência e proliferação de certos tipos de câncer: uma ataxia telangiectasia e um programa de inibidor de proteína quinase relacionado com Rad3 (ATR) composto por dois compostos, VX-970 e VX-803. O VX-970 está sendo investigado amplamente através de 10 ensaios em fase 1 e fase 2 em curso em vários tumores e subtipos de pacientes que se espera que respondam à inibição de ATR com base em dados de biomarcadores. Os dados clínicos preliminares do VX-970 foram apresentados na reunião anual 2016 da Sociedade Americana de Oncologia Clínica (ASCO) e na Reunião Anual da Associação Americana de Pesquisa do Câncer de 2016 (AACR). O VX-803 é um inibidor de ATR doseado oralmente atualmente em ensaios de Fase 1, avaliando doses escalonantes de VX-803 sozinhas e em combinação com quimioterapia. Um programa inibidor da proteína quinase (ADN-PK) dependente do DNA, incluindo o candidato clínico VX-984. Um estudo de Fase 1 agora está avaliando doses crescentes de VX-984 sozinhas e em associação com doxorrubicina lipossomal pegilada em indivíduos com tumores sólidos avançados.

Phase 3 MS program planned to initiate in 1H 2017. The primary objective of the study was to assess the safety and tolerability of TG-1101 in patients with RMS as well as to determine the optimal dosing regimen for TG-1101 by examining the level of B-cell depletion and the tolerability of accelerated infusion times. Established MS clinical efficacy endpoints are also being evaluated, which require longer-term follow-up and are anticipated to be reported on later this year or next year at a medical conference. The median B-celL DEPLETION FOR ALL PATIENTS IN PART 1 WAS 99 AND TG-1101 WAS WELL-TOLERATED WITH NO GRADE 34 ADVERSE EVENTS REPORTED, INCLUDING IN PATIENTS RECEIVING THE ONE-HOUR INFUSION AT THE TARGET PHASE 3 DOSE AND INFUSION RATE. AS PART 2 OF THE TRIAL, THE COMPANY HAS ADDED EXPANSION COHORTS AND WILL EXPLORE ACCELERATED DOSING OF THE INITIAL 150MG DOSE. quotThe speed at which we were able to rapidly enroll into this study demonstrates the on-going need for new treatment options for patients. We were extremely pleased to see rapid and robust B-cell depletion and excited to see that a one-hour infusion was well tolerated, possibly providing an important convenience advantage over first generation anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. We look forward to continuing enrollment into one or more expansion cohorts and to launching a Phase 3 program in the first half of this year. quot 7:30 am Sangamo BioSci confirms that the FDA has granted orphan drug designation to SB-318 for the treatment of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I ( SGMO ).
