ly significantly less (p < 0.05) than mice treated with either capecitabine alone (461.0 mm3 +/- 50.4) or mice treated with LV, 5-FU and capecitabine (447.8 mm3 +/- 46.5). Consistent with superior inhibition of tumor growth, treatment with CoFactor, 5-FU and capecitabine also prolonged survival compared to the other treatment regimens. The median survival of CoFactor, 5-FU and capecitabine treated mice (60 days) was statistically significantly longer (p < 0.05) than capecitabine alone (38 days) and LV, 5-FU and capecitabine (39 days). Importantly, the increased tumor inhibition and survival benefits of treatment with CoFactor, 5-FU and capecitabine did not come at the cost of added toxicity. Treatment with CoFactor, 5-FU and capecitabine caused less severe weight loss than all other drug treatments, including capecitabine alone. These results suggest a hybrid treatment regimen, consisting of a CoFactor and 5-FU treatment backbone coupled with capecitabine, might confer improvements in antitumor activity and survival without corresponding increases in systemic toxicity in patients with colorectal cancer. The Company plans to pursue further testing of this CoFactor treatment regimen.

About CoFactor

CoFactor (ANX-510) is a folate-based biomodulator drug designed to replace leucovorin as the preferred method to enhance the activity and reduce associated toxicity of the widely used cancer chemotherapy 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). In comparison to leucovorin, CoFactor creates more stable binding of the active form of 5-FU to the target enzyme, thymidylate synthase (TS). CoFactor bypasses the metabolic pathway required by leucovorin to deliver the active form of folate, allowing 5-FU to work more effectively. CoFactor is in Phase 3 and Phase 2b clinical trials for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, as well as in a Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of advanced breast cancer.
