Phase I/II study of OGX-011 and a gemcitabine (GEM)/platinum regimen as first-line therapy in 85 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer" Abstract Number: 7596 Session: Lung Cancer, Poster Board # P10 Location: S Hall A2 Session Time: 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Presenter: Janessa J. Laskin, M.D. About OGX-011

OGX-011 is designed to specifically inhibit the production of the cell-survival protein, clusterin. Clusterin production is associated with treatment resistance in many cancers and in response to various cancer treatments, including hormone ablation therapy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Preclinical studies have shown that inhibition of clusterin can disable the tumor cell's adaptive defences, render the tumor cells susceptible to attack with a variety of cancer therapies, including chemotherapy, and facilitate tumor cell death. OncoGenex and Isis are collaborating on development of OGX-011.

About OncoGenex

OncoGenex is committed to the development and commercialization of new cancer therapies that address treatment resistance in cancer patients. OncoGenex currently has three product candidates in development: OGX-011, OGX-427 and OGX-225. These product candidates are designed to selectively inhibit the production of proteins that are associated with treatment resistance and that are over-produced in response to a variety of cancer treatments. OncoGenex' aim in targeting these particular proteins is to disable the tumor cells' adaptive defenses, render the tumor cells susceptible to attack with a variety of cancer therapies including chemotherapy, and facilitate tumor cell death.
