Lorus Therapeutics announces third clinical trial with GTI-2040 in cooperation with the U.S. National Cancer Institute

07:01 EDT Monday, September 15, 2003


- GTI-2040 in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of lung
cancer -

TSX: LOR
OTC BB: LORFF

TORONTO, Sept. 15 /CNW/ - Lorus Therapeutics announced today that approval has been obtained from Health Canada for initiation of a clinical trial of GTI-2040 in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as part of a Phase II clinical program of GTI-2040 in collaboration with the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI). The study will be conducted under the direction of Dr. Natasha Leighl at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, a leading clinical and research centre for cancer.

Additional leading oncology centres and investigators participating in this study include the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre (Dr. Scott Laurie), Hamilton Regional Cancer Centre (Dr. Peter Ellis), and London Regional Cancer Centre (Dr. Mark Vincent).

The study is supported by the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP), an NCI agency that is providing both program coordination and financial sponsorship as part of its mission to support the development of novel anticancer agents.

"Inclusion of lung cancer in the GTI-2040 clinical program in cooperation with the U.S. NCI and leading Canadian oncology clinical research centres is an excellent opportunity to apply our strategy of combining GTI-2040 with established chemotherapeutic regimens without increasing the toxicity profile," said Dr. Jim Wright, chief executive officer, Lorus. "We are pleased to be working with leading oncologists on the development of GTI-2040 in this indication."

Advanced NSCLC, the most common form of lung cancer, is incurable and median survival with current treatments ranges from 8 to 10 months. Based on National Cancer Institute of Canada and American Cancer Society statistics for 2002, it is estimated that 189,000 North Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer and 173,000 will die from the disease this year.

While advancements in combination therapies have improved the one year survival rate in lung cancer patients from 25 per cent to greater than 30 per cent, there is a clear need for novel combination treatments to further improve lung cancer outcomes.

Lorus also recently announced the expansion of GTI-2040 into two additional NCI-sponsored studies. One in Acute Myeloid Leukemia is being conduced at Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio under the direction of Dr. Guido Marcucci. Dr. Helen Chew of the University of California Davis Cancer Center is conducting the second study, in advanced breast cancer. The NCI is financially sponsoring this series of Phase II clinical trials to investigate the safety and efficacy of GTI-2040 in six different cancer indications.

GTI-2040 is an antisense drug that specifically targets the R2 component of ribonucleotide reductase, a malignant determinant that is elevated in a wide range of tumors and which can cooperate with a variety of other cellular cancer causing genes known as oncogenes to enhance tumor growth and metastatic potential. GTI-2040 was chosen for combination with docetaxel, an established agent for treatment of lung cancer, based on preclinical data providing significant activity against NSCLC as a single agent, potential synergy with taxanes in preclinical models, and low toxicity observed as a single agent in a Phase I clinical trial.

We believe Cyclacel has scientific and product expertise pivotal to the development of drugs such as NC 381."
