resent a new approach to the treatment of breast
cancer in women that are refractory to either anti-estrogen or
aromatase inhibitor therapy. In addition, the animal data discussed
in the paper suggests that Proellex may have the potential to be
developed for the prevention of breast cancer or in adjuvant
therapy in combination with already approved anti-estrogen or
aromatase inhibition based therapies.
Dr. Ronald Wiehle, VP of R&D at Repros, noted, "We are
pleased with the performance of Proellex in clinical trials for the
non-life-threatening conditions of endometriosis and uterine
fibroids. In addition to Proellex providing real benefit to women
suffering from these debilitating conditions, the drug has been
remarkably well tolerated. We now have peer-reviewed evidence that
Proellex may also be useful in the treatment of a significant
life-threatening disease. Any potential for the prevention of
breast cancer, if verified, would be especially good news for women
taking Proellex for endometriosis and fibroids."
Joseph Podolski, President and CEO, added, "This report
represents significant findings towards the potential for a new
indication for Proellex. We are well down the road of preparing a
complete dossier for NDA submission for Proellex in the treatment
of uterine fibroids, which is expected around the end of 2008.
Though not a trivial task, this new indication could be developed
with a specific focus on efficacy questions while relying heavily
on our existing and growing safety data base for Proellex." He
further commented, "Our developmental portfolio of indications is
very full at this time. We believe the opportunity to find a
partner in the oncology arena for the breast cancer indication
represents a great opportunity for the Company. We therefore plan
to explore a potential collaborative relationship with one of the
major oncology companies for the breast cancer indication."
