Jennerex Announces First Patient Randomized in Phase 2b Clinical Trial of JX-594 in Liver Cancer
Date:11/4/2011

or JX-594 in Liver Cancer

Data from two Phase 2 clinical trials using JX-594 to treat liver cancer were announced earlier this year. In the first trial, preliminary data from 30 patients indicated that the risk of death for patients who received JX-594 at the high therapeutic dose was markedly reduced by more than 50 percent (hazard ratio <0.5) when compared to patients randomized to a control low dose (one-tenth of the high dose).  

In a second Phase 2 trial which sequentially combined intravenous and intratumoral administration of JX-594 and sorafenib treatment, interim data from 15 patients, including a subgroup of 10 who have failed previous treatment with sorafenib, demonstrated tumor responses by Choi criteria (a measure of tumor necrosis) in both injected and non-injected tumors in eight of 11 evaluable patients. Tumor responses were maintained for up to 15 months post JX-594 treatment initiation. Significant tumor necrosis following JX-594 and sorafenib was observed in six of seven evaluable sorafenib resistant patients (86 percent).

Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Global Unmet Need

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer death, with over 600,000 new cases diagnosed annually resulting in more than 90 percent mortality.  The annual incidence rate in the U.S., Europe, Japan and China are estimated to be 20,000, 55,000, 40,000 and 350,000 patients, respectively.  Currently, there is only one approved agent for HCC, a drug called sorafenib (Nexavar®), which is associated with moderate efficacy (tumor response rate of <5%) and a side effect profile that has resulted in discontinuation of use in some patients.
