On May 1, 2015 Eleison Pharmaceuticals LLC, a specialty pharmaceutical company developing life-saving therapeutics for rare cancers reported that it has successfully completed the first stage of its Phase II study of ILC (Inhaled Lipid-complexed Cisplatin), for the treatment of patients with pediatric osteosarcoma (bone cancer), with all 19 patients enrolled in this stage of the study having reached the study endpoint (Press release, Eleison Pharmaceuticals, MAY 1, 2015, View Source [SID1234517397]). The study has been enrolling patients at 15 of the leading U.S. hospitals and medical centers. More information about the study may be found at the www.clinicaltrials.gov website.
"In this study, we were evaluating if ILC may delay or prevent further pulmonary relapses in osteosarcoma patients", commented Mr. Edwin Thomas, CEO of Eleison. "We are very encouraged by the data generated by the study as 13 of the 19 patients experienced a relapse-free interval longer than the predicted relapse-free interval", further commented Mr. Thomas. Eleison is continuing to evaluate the study data and is planning to commence a pivotal registrational clinical trial of ILC later this year.
