VentiRx Pharmaceuticals Commences Phase I Clinical Trial of VTX-2337, a Novel TLR8 Agonist for the Treatment of Oncology

(posted on 04/12/2008)

First Selective TLR8 Agonist to Advance to Clinical Trials

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 4 - VentiRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel Toll-Like Receptor 8 (TLR8) agonists for the treatment of cancer, respiratory and autoimmune diseases, announced today that it has initiated a Phase I clinical trial of VTX-2337, a selective TLR8 agonist for the treatment of cancer. The multi-center clinical trial is being conducted at the Mayo Clinic Arizona and TGen Drug Development Services (TD2) both in Scottsdale, Arizona.

“We are delighted to advance the first molecule from our Toll-Like Receptor 8 platform, VTX-2337, into the clinic,” said Michael Kamdar, Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer at VentiRx. “This represents a significant milestone for VentiRx and our TLR efforts as we have rapidly advanced into a clinical development company with a novel molecule that may have broad application in the treatment of cancer.”

VTX-2337 is a small molecule TLR8 agonist that is expected to be used in combination with standard of care for the treatment of patients with cancer. Preclinical evaluation of VTX-2337 suggests that it may play a key role in augmenting the innate arm of the immune system and provide a valuable addition to various treatment regimens in oncology. The first clinical trial will investigate the safety and pharmacology of multiple doses of VTX-2337 in patients with late stage cancer.

“VTX-2337 is the first selective TLR8 compound to reach the clinic and we are hopeful that modulation of the innate immune response will provide a benefit to patients in a number of oncology indications,” said Dr. Robert Hershberg, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at VentiRx.

I would find it helpful if users had an area to post clinical trials they come across. For instance, I just found a trial of Gemzar and Alimta at the Mayo clinic for gallbladder cancer.
