Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On March 6, 2010, R. Bruce Montgomery, M.D., lead investigator of the ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trial for Harbor Biosciences, Inc.'s Apoptone(r) (HE3235) drug, will present updated data for Apoptone at the ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium in San Francisco. Apoptone is a novel steroid analog of a dihydrotestosterone metabolite that has been found to induce cell death (apoptosis) in prostate tumors. Apoptone is intended for use in the treatment of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), also referred to as hormone resistant prostate cancer. Initial results from this study, conducted with participating member sites of the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trial Consortium (PCCTC), were reported on November 16, 2009.
Dr. Montgomery's presentation will note several developments including that the Kaplan-Meier estimate (a standard statistical method for predicting the outcome of an ongoing study) for the median time to progression for the ongoing trial is 15.3 weeks and the range is between four and forty weeks. Due to early signs of activity, the 20 mg dose group was expanded to include 14 patients. Eleven of the patients were evaluable with an actual median time to progression of 20 weeks and the range of eight and twenty eight weeks.
Based on these encouraging signs of activity, the PCCTC recommended an extension of the current trial into patients that have not been treated with taxane chemotherapy. In the extension, subject eligibility criteria have been amended to include earlier-stage, patients who have not yet been treated with chemotherapy. Ten such patients have been enrolled to date and will be treated with 100 mg doses of Apoptone.
