ARRY-520: KSP inhibitor

http://denver.dbusinessnews.com/show...&newsid=101604

Array BioPharma’s KSP Inhibitor for Cancer to Advance into Human Clinical Trials Phase 1 Trial Expected to Commence in Early 2007Denver - Denver -- Array BioPharma Inc. (NASDAQ: ARRY) filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for ARRY-520 with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and is now able to proceed with human clinical studies. ARRY-520 is a potent Kinesin Spindle Protein (KSP) inhibitor that caused marked tumor regression in preclinical models of human solid tumors and human leukemias, often leading to durable responses.

Array plans to commence the Phase 1 clinical trial at three academic medical centers in the United States. The open-label, dose-escalation trial is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ARRY-520 following intravenous administration to patients with advanced cancer. In addition, the trial is designed to examine indicators of therapeutic activity in these patients.

“Advancing ARRY-520, our small molecule KSP inhibitor, into clinical trials is a significant achievement for Array and marks our fourth drug to enter clinical development during 2006 and fifth drug overall,” said Kevin Koch, Ph.D., President and Chief Scientific Officer. “We’ve now achieved our goal of having five drugs in clinical development by the end of 2006.”

ARRY-543 - ErbB-2 / EGFR inhibitor for solid tumors: Array continued its Phase 1b trial of ARRY-543 in combination with Xeloda® (capecitabine) in patients with solid tumors. Array initiated two additional Phase 1b trials, in combination with Taxotere® (docetaxel) and Gemzar® (gemcitabine).
AACR Highlights: Preliminary results presented on Array’s Phase 1 trial showed that ARRY-543 was generally well-tolerated and demonstrated evidence of tumor regression and prolonged stable disease in EGFR- and ErbB2-expressing cancers. Of the confirmed patients with ErbB2-positive metastatic breast cancer treated with ARRY-543, 63 percent achieved stable disease for 16 weeks or longer. Twenty one patients were evaluated: 12 had available biopsies and eight were confirmed ErbB2-positive. Clinical benefit was demonstrated in five of these eight patients and patients with confirmed co-expression of ErbB2 and EGFR tended to have the best clinical benefit. In patients with other cancers shown to express ErbB family members, three patients, with ovarian cancer, cervical cancer and cholangiocarcinoma, respectively, treated with ARRY-543 also achieved stable disease for 16 weeks or more; the patient with cholangiocarcinoma experienced a tumor marker response that was accompanied by a 25 percent regression of target lesions.

ARRY-380 – ErbB-2 inhibitor for cancer: Patient recruitment in a Phase 1 trial of ARRY-380, an oral, selective ErbB-2 inhibitor, remains on track to complete in 2009. The trial is designed to evaluate the safety, maximum tolerated dose, and pharmacokinetics of ARRY-380 in cancer patients.
