London, UK, and Orlando, FL, 11 December 2006 - Antisoma today announces that it is advancing AS1411 into a phase II trial in acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML). AS1411 will be tested in combination with cytarabine (Ara-C), an established treatment for AML. The trial is expected to include older patients being treated for the first time and patients of any age who have suffered a relapse after initial treatment. Antisoma plans to start the study in 2007. It will run in parallel with a separate phase II trial of AS1411 in renal cancer.
