s, and the combination therapy was as well tolerated as Oxaliplatin treatment alone. This study supports further evaluation of ON 01910.Na and the combination with Oxaliplatin in additional clinical trials in patients with liver, hormone refractory prostate and melanoma tumors (abstract 2271).

An oral presentation, "Phase I study of ON 01910.Na, A Novel Cell Cycle Inhibitor in Adult Patients with Solid Tumors by A. Jimeno, J. Li, M.V.R Reddy, E.P Reddy, A. Chan, X. Zhang, P. Kulesza, J. Wheelhouse, G. Cusatis, A. Howard, M. Maniar, W.A Messersmith, D. Laheru, M. Rudek, S. D. Baker, M. Hidalgo, and R. C. Donehower, summarizes the Phase I study conducted at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins Medical Center, Baltimore, MD, in which ON 01910.Na has shown preliminary signs of clinical activity early in development. ON 01910.Na has also evidenced significant preclinical activity against a novel direct pancreatic cancer xenograft model. A gene expression-based assay identifies tumors likely to respond to ON 01910.Na, and will be tested in a Phase II clinical study in pancreatic cancer patients. Integrating early clinical and preclinical development programs is an efficient way to generate rationale for disease-directed studies and biomarkers (oral presentation in a "Breakthroughs in Clinical Research" session on Monday).
