FRANKFURT, Nov 30 (Reuters) - German drugmaker Schering (SCHG.DE: Quote, Profile, Research) on Wednesday announced the start of three mid-stage, or Phase II, trials on anti-cancer drug ZK-EPO.

The Berlin-based group said the drug would be tested for several types of cancer such as non small-cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer and breast cancer.

The non-small cell lung cancer trial is currently enrolling patients in Germany, and will examine the safety and efficacy of ZK-EPO in patients with advanced disease.

"The Phase I data leads us to believe ZK-EPO has potential to become an important new anti-cancer therapy to treat people with a variety of solid tumours," Carlo Montagner, head of oncology at Schering group said.
