Anti-Tumour Drug More Potent With Light-Directe...(by the antibody and the light-directed d...)

Date:8/19/2009

by the antibody and the light-directed drug delivery achieved by PCI gives extraordinarily specific therapy, effectively combining two different principles for specifically targeting the tumour cells. The increased delivery efficiency offered by the PCI technology makes it possible to achieve very good therapeutic effects with drug doses substantially lower than what is necessary without the help of PCI. The study demonstrates the excellent effect of the PCI technology with a very promising class of anticancer drugs, and could pave the way for the efficient and safe use of such drugs in humans."

Per Walday, CEO of PCI Biotech, adds: "This study further demonstrates the potential of the PCI technology in combination with important new classes of therapies. These results clearly demonstrate that PCI as a modality may greatly improve the efficacy of cell-targeted therapeutic agents. Our main priority going forward is to move the PCI technology into the clinic, to prove its safety and efficacy in man."
