ASA404 trial starts enrolling in Japan

29 March 2009

UK cancer drug developer Antisoma says that ATTRACT-1, a Phase III trial conducted by its Swiss partner Novartis to test ASA404 as a first-line  treatment for non-small cell lung cancer, is now enrolling patients in  Japan.

ATTRACT-1 has been enrolling into a variety of other countries since it  began in April 2008. Extension of the trial to Japan follows the  successful completion of a Phase I study evaluating the safety of ASA404  in Japanese lung cancer patients.
