DJ Humanigen's Anti-Tumor Ifabotuzumab Notches Positive Phase 1 Results
By Matt Grossman
Humanigen Inc.'s ifabotuzumab drug achieved positive results in a Phase 1 safety and bio-imaging trial in patients with glioblatoma multiforme, the company said Friday.
Glioblatoma multiforme is a type of brain cancer.
At both doses in the study, ifabotuzumab showed sensitive and specific tumor targeting in all the patients who received it, Humanigen said. The adverse events in the study were readily manageable, the company said.
Andrew Scott, the study's principal investigator, said the results support further investigation of the drug's effect on other solid tumors in a Phase 2 study.
