BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genta Incorporated (OTCBB: GETA - News) announced today that data from clinical trials of the Company's late-stage compounds, tesetaxel and Genasense® (oblimersen sodium) Injection, will be presented at the 2010 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The meeting will be held from June 4-9, 2010 in Chicago, IL.

Highlights of the presentations include further details on the Phase 3 trials of Genasense in advanced melanoma, including a pooled analysis of early results from the AGENDA trial combined with data from Genta’s previous Phase 3 study, both of which evaluated dacarbazine chemotherapy with or without Genasense. In addition, updated results from a trial in advanced melanoma that combined Genasense plus temozolomide and Abraxane® will be presented, including data from the cohort of patients that received Genasense as a 1-hour, twice-weekly, intravenous (IV) infusion (unlike prior trials that employed a continuous IV infusion for 5-consecutive days every 3 weeks).

Updated clinical and pharmacokinetic (PK) data on tesetaxel, the leading oral taxane in clinical development, will be presented from a dose-ranging study using a once every 3-weeks schedule. The presentation will also include initial clinical and PK data from a dose-ranging study that employs a new schedule whereby the drug is administered weekly for 3 consecutive weeks, followed by 1 week off.

Titles, dates, and times of these presentations appear below.
