20/04/07  Telcyta Phase III Results Do Not Support a Filing

DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 18, 2007 - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c54406) has announced the addition of the Espicom Business Intelligence Ltd report: New Cancer Drug Tracker: Telcyta to their offering.

Long gone are the days when a drug successfully completing Phase III trials was virtually assured of launch.

The results of late-stage clinical trials are scrutinised as never before, and even products that surmount safety and efficacy requirements must overcome increasingly challenging pharmacoeconomic and medical outcome hurdles.

The high cost of new cancer therapies has made them targets for critical analysis. The rewards may be great for patients and companies alike, but successfully bringing a new product to market is a complex, difficult-to-predict business.

Tracking and evaluating these new products through their late-stage development is essential and that is why both industry and the investment community will value this comprehensive new service from one of the world's leading providers of oncology business data.

Telcyta (TLK286) Telik

It was predicted that Telcyta would reach the market in mid-2007 for the third-line treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, however Phase III results do not support a filing. Two Phase III studies in ovarian cancer have also recently produced disappointing results, where previously approval for patients with platinum-refractory and -resistant disease was predicted for early 2008.

New Cancer Drug Tracker reports will inform you and your colleagues of the essential details of a new product's prospects and keep you up to date.

When new information is sourced by editors the two-year development tracker is updated along with any adjustment to the forecasts and estimates. Changes to the data are highlighted on the front page of the report allowing you to instantly see the latest information.

When a significant event happens the entire report is sent to you again so that the forecasts and evaluations can be reviewed in the light of the latest developments. Updates are sent for 12 months.
