DALLAS, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ACCESS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (OTC Bulletin Board: ACCP), provided an update today on its clinical development strategy for ProLindac, a novel DACH platinum drug that has shown to be active in many solid tumors in human clinical studies. Access has commenced a new clinical study of ProLindac in France. The study will examine dose levels and regimens of ProLindac monotherapy in cancer patients, provide additional data to support design of combinations studies, and extend the safety database. Two ovarian cancer patients have been enrolled in the study to date, and it is anticipated 6 to 12 patients will be enrolled this year in advance of enrolling patients in trial evaluating ProLindac in combination with other chemotherapies. Access recently announced data from a recurrent ovarian cancer trial that showed that ProLindac was more active than currently available platinum drugs in that patient population, and that the drug was very well tolerated.
