In this Phase 2, open-label, single-arm, multi-center study, forodesine was administered orally at 200 mg twice-daily for 28-day cycles in previously treated CLL patients. The primary endpoint of the study was overall response rate. An analysis conducted after all patients were followed through ≥6 months showed that six of 23 response-evaluable patients demonstrated a partial response to forodesine, resulting in a response rate of 26 percent. Forodesine 200 mg orally-administered twice-daily was generally safe and well-tolerated in this study. The pattern, frequencies and severity distribution of adverse events were generally consistent with CLL-associated poor bone marrow function and immunodeficiency, prior therapies and co-morbidities.” Full News at: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/BioCryst-Reports-New-Data-bw-3582084115.html?x=0&.v=1 Amgen Inc.
