NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ImClone Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ: IMCL) today announced data from the Phase II OPUS study that show that the addition of ERBITUX® (cetuximab) to FOLFOX chemotherapy significantly improves both response rate and progression-free survival over FOLFOX alone in the first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients whose tumors do not have mutations of the K-Ras oncogene (K-Ras wild-type). The study results have been published on the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) web site, www.asco.org, and will be presented at the ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago on Saturday, May 31, 2008 at 1:15pm.
