MolMed expands NGR-hTNF trial in US

MolMed, a biotechnology company, has expanded the Phase III trial of its investigational anticancer drug NGR-hTNF in malignant pleural mesothelioma, in the US.

NGR-hTNF is a vascular targeting agent belonging to peptide/cytokine complexes, which can selectively target the tumour vasculature.

The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre Phase III NGR015 trial, will enroll 390 adult patients affected by malignant pleural mesothelioma with disease progressing after standard pemetrexed-based chemotherapy.

The primary endpoint is overall survival, while the secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, disease control rate, safety and patients’ quality of life.

The company expects to announce the results in 2013.
