( ntage of patients who wereemesis-free ...)MGI Pharma Summarizes Data Presented at the 2007 American Society,of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting,Health

ntage of patients who were emesis-free was numerically higher in the 10 mcg/kg group; however, as with CR, these differences were primarily seen in children less than 2 years. A numerically higher proportion of patients (aged 6-17 years) with no nausea was also observed in the 10 mcg/kg group. Both doses showed a similar time to treatment failure (time to first emetic episode and/or first administration of rescue medication). The pharmacokinetic data show that total body clearance and volume of distribution of Aloxi increased with age-related body weight, as expected. The long half-life (21-37 hours) of Aloxi in this pediatric population was consistent with that in adults. There were no cardiac safety concerns or serious treatment related adverse events.

Study of Response to Dacogen in Older Patients Diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)

The impact of Dacogen on the survival of older patients with AML was presented in a poster discussion on Monday, June 4, 2007. A total of 33 patients meeting the WHO definition of AML ( greater than or equal to20% bone marrow blasts) who had been treated with Dacogen as front-line therapy on either the randomized Phase 3 study in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, or on two consecutive studies of Dacogen, alone or in combination with valproic acid were evaluated retrospectively. Response to therapy was assessed by the International Working Group criteria. In the 33 patients treated with intravenous Dacogen (100-150 mg/m2/course), an overall response rate ranging from 50-57% was observed across the three clinical trials with complete and partial response rates of 24% and 6%, respectively, and hematologic improvement and marrow complete response rates of 15% and 6%, respectively. The median survival for the Dacogen treated patients was

12.6 months, the median duration of response was 8.8 months, and 1- and 2-year survival rates were 51% and 26%, respectively. Regardl
