Date:12/12/2010

rian cancer and now in metastatic breast cancer.  This clinical benefit we've observed in tumor settings, where a highly active topoisomerase 1 inhibitor could be extremely useful, makes us very excited about the future of NKTR-102."

Side effects were generally manageable with dose-limiting toxicity consisting primarily of Grade 3 diarrhea (20-23%) typically occurring after three months of therapy for both schedules.  Only one patient of 70 patients treated with NKTR-102 experienced Grade 2 alopecia and no patient experienced grade 3 or 4 neuropathy.  Both neuropathy and alopecia are significant adverse events commonly associated with standard breast cancer therapies [Safety Tables, Figures D and E].
