"We have recently announced encouraging preliminary data for CA4P in both neuroendocrine tumors and recurrent ovarian cancer and have commenced an expanded phase 1b/2 clinical trial of OXi4503 in acute myeloid leukemia," said William D. Schwieterman, M.D., OXiGENE’s President and Chief Executive Officer. "Simultaneously, we are moving forward with the advancement of CA4P in our planned phase 2/3 trials in platinum resistant ovarian cancer and glioblastoma multiforme. I continue to be encouraged by the data supporting the efficacy of our vascular disrupting agents, and I believe the opportunities we have to advance the treatment of cancer are substantial."
