EpiCept Accelerates Development of Phase I Clinical Study for Cancer

lan. We expect to be in a position to report the results of this important clinical trial later this year."

EPC2407 has shown promising vascular targeting activity with nanomolar potencies of anti-tumor activity in pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo studies. The molecule has been shown to induce tumor cell apoptosis and selectively inhibit growth of proliferating cell lines, including multi-drug resistant cell lines. Murine models of human tumor xenografts demonstrated EPC2407 inhibits growth of established tumors of a number of different cancer types more effectively than the other VDAs tested and was synergistic when used in combination with anticancer agents, such as Cisplatin. The combination of EPC2407 with other anticancer agents in a Phase 1b trial is planned to follow the current monotherapy trial. EPC2407 is one of two VDA compounds currently in clinical trials discovered through EpiCept's Anti-cancer Screening Apoptosis Program (ASAP). The second compound, Azixa(TM), is part of the EP90745 series of apoptosis inducers, which was licensed by EpiCept to Myriad Genetics, Inc. as part of an exclusive, worldwide development and commercialization agreement. Myriad recently announced that Azixa(TM) has a second mode of action due to vascular disruption activity (VDA). The compound is currently being evaluated in two Phase II human clinical trials, one in patients with primary brain cancer and the other in brain metastases due to melanoma. EpiCept's licensing agreement with Myriad for Azixa includes milestone payments, and sublicensing income as well as future royalties in the event Myriad's development of Azixa continues to progress successfully.
