Bio-Path completes second cohort dosing of leukemia drug trial

Liposomal Grb-2 is indicated as a systemic treatment for blood cancers including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

The second cohort of the Phase I study dosed a total of six patients, of which three evaluable patients completed the 28-day treatment cycle and while the other three failed to complete a full 28-day cycle because of disease progression.

Patients received a dose of 10 mg/m2 twice a week for four weeks, and found that Liposomal Grb-2, at a dose of 10 mg/m2 is well tolerated.

Liposomal Grb-2 is delivered via intravenous injection utilizing Bio-Path’s drug delivery technology that distributes nucleic acid drugs systemically and safely throughout the human body.
