Date:5/4/2009

mon cancer in both American men and women, and the third leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. In 2009, an estimated 148,810 new cases of colon and rectal cancer were expected to be diagnosed in the U.S., with an estimated 49,960 deaths (American Cancer Society, Cancer Facts and Figures 2009). The current standard of care is associated with significant side effects including neuropathy, which can limit its use and result in its discontinuation. Effective first-line, neuropathy sparing treatment for CRC is a major unmet medical need.

About Picoplatin

Picoplatin is designed to overcome platinum resistance associated with chemotherapy in solid tumors. Study data to date suggest that it has an improved safety profile relative to existing platinum-based cancer therapies. More than 1,100 patients have received picoplatin. Results obtained to date suggest manageable hematologic adverse events with less severe kidney toxicity (nephrotoxicity) and nerve toxicity (neurotoxicity) than is commonly observed with other platinum chemotherapy drugs. Picoplatin has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in a variety of solid tumors. It is being studied in multiple cancer indications, treatment combinations and by two routes of administration.
