Regeneron begins pivotal cancer drug trials

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals has started two Phase III trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of aflibercept in combination with standard chemotherapy regimens in patients with prostate cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.

Aflibercept is an anti-angiogenic agent targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), currently being developed by New York-based Regeneron in collaboration with Sanofi-Aventis. These two trials will be double-blind and placebo-controlled.

Sanofi-aventis will provide an update of the broad-based clinical development program planned for aflibercept, and additional details on these two trials, at its R&D day meeting scheduled to be held in Paris, France on September 17, 2007.
