French cancer institute launches Phase I effort

28 September 2008

France's Gustave Roussy Cancer Institute (IGR) has launched the SITEP, a new service in its department of medicine, for the promotion of early-stage therapeutic innovation in cancer treatments. The goal is to enable more of the 800,000 cancer patients in France diagnosed each year, to obtain easier access to those oncology products that have not yet received regulatory clearance.

The new SITEP program will focus its attention on helping patients to participate in Phase I clinical studies. Recent research indicates that some clinical benefit is observed in nearly half of patients in the form of tumor regression or non-progression of the condition.
