EntreMed Announces FDA Acceptance of IND Application for Aurora Kinase/Angiogenesis Inhibitor, ENMD-2076

Date:1/3/2008

in multiple preclinical models including both solid tumors and hematological cancers. As such, we plan to initiate several clinical studies with ENMD-2076 that include Phase 1 trials in both solid and hematological cancers in 2008."

James S. Burns, EntreMed President & CEO commented, "The IND for ENMD-2076 represents an important milestone for EntreMed. This compound has shown significant single-agent activity, including tumor regression in multiple animal models. Moving ENMD-2076 forward into clinical development is consistent with our strategy of investing preferentially behind small molecule, orally-administered, multi-mechanism product candidates with potent single-agent antitumor activity and strong intellectual product coverage. Our goal is to commence clinical trials for ENMD-2076 and, in parallel, seek a development partner to help us accelerate the development of what I believe is an exciting oncology opportunity for EntreMed."
