SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 23, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq:MYRX - News) today announced the presentation of non-clinical data demonstrating the potent anti-cancer activity of Azixa(TM) (MPC-6827), its small molecule microtubule destabilizing agent, in a model of brain cancer. Azixa is currently in two phase 2 studies for the treatment of primary brain tumors and one phase 2 trial for the treatment of metastatic melanoma.
The data, presented today at the 2009 Joint Meeting of the Society for Neuro-Oncology and the AANS/CNS Section on Tumors, demonstrated that Azixa reduced the growth of glioma tumor cells implanted into the brains of mice by 98% (p<0.01). This reduction in tumor growth significantly improved the survival of Azixa-treated mice when compared with control animals. Data from two additional cancer models demonstrated that the combination of Azixa and Avastin(R) (bevacizumab) was more efficacious than treatment with Avastin alone (p=0.006 for glioma).
"The ability of Azixa to cross the blood brain barrier together with demonstrated efficacy in this model of brain cancer are strong evidence supporting our clinical strategy to target brain tumors," said Dr. Adrian Hobden, President and CEO of Myriad Pharmaceuticals. "The additive efficacy of the combination of Azixa and Avastin, further encourages us that Azixa may be an important addition to the treatment regimes of this underserved patient population."
As previously announced, the oral presentation is available as PDFs on the Myriad Pharmaceuticals' website at www.myriadpharma.com
