Oral presentation at the very prestigious ASCO conference coming up next Friday, so ten days to go! The ASCO abstract is below, the presentation is for 12 minutes to a potentially large medical audience, so this is a big deal.

"144 patients were enrolled overall; 102 were assigned to PHP (301: n=43; 301A: n=59) and 42 were assigned to BAC. 91 PHP patients received treatment (301: n=40; 301A: n=51) and 32 BAC patients received treatment. At the time of this analysis, 4 PHP patients were still ongoing on study treatment with a minimum follow-up of 24 weeks. 79 PHP-treated patients and 29 BAC-treated patients were evaluable for response. ORR among PHP patients was 32.9% (26/79; 95% CI: 22.75-40.40%). ORR among BAC patients was 13.8% (4/29; 95% CI: 3.89-31.66%). The median PFS was 9.03 months (95% CI: 6.24-11.83) among PHP patients and was 3.06 months (95% CI: 2.69-5.65) among BAC patients; this difference was statistically significant (p=0.0004). Among the 94 patients assessed for safety after treatment with PHP, 40.4% of patients experienced a serious treatment-emergent adverse event, the majority of which were hematological and resolved without sequelae. There were no treatment related deaths in the trial."
