Anal cancer trial results out;

At present, 7 of 8 patients out of the planned total accrual of 25 patients have completed the treatment regimen. The 7 patients are without evidence of disease. Preliminary safety findings indicate flu-like symptoms were the most common adverse reaction lasting for about 24 hours.

Patients have been treated at Rhode Island Hospital and The Miriam Hospital (the main teaching hospitals of The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University). With these results, the study is being expanded to Ohio State University and Rutgers University, and these sites are in the process of activation.
