MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., Aug. 12, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immunomedics, Inc. (Nasdaq:IMMU), a biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on the development of monoclonal antibody-based products for the targeted treatment of cancer, autoimmune and other serious diseases, announced today that the three Phase I trials evaluating the Company's antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in patients with diverse solid tumors have now advanced to Phase II clinical trials. IMMU-130, labetuzumab-SN-38, was being studied in two different Phase-I dose-finding trials in patients with advanced (metastatic) colorectal cancer, after failing several prior therapies. IMMU-132, the anti-Trop-2-SN-38 ADC, was being evaluated in a single dose-escalation trial in late-stage metastatic cancer patients with multiple solid tumor types after failing several prior therapies. The purpose of these Phase I trials was to determine a tolerable dose that could be administered in repeated cycles, and any early evidence of efficacy.
