California, USA-based drug developer Pharmacyclics has entered into a global strategic alliance with Laboratoire Servier, the leading French  independent pharmaceutical company.

The collaboration will focus on the research, development and  commercialization of Pharmacyclics' PCI-24781, an orally-active, novel,  small-molecule inhibitor of Pan HDAC enzymes, that is currently in Phase  I/II clinical trials in the USA and being developed for the treatment of  solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Pharmacyclics says it expects  that this alliance will enable it to aggressively pursue its goal of  developing and commercializing its innovative anti-cancer Pan HDAC  inhibitor agents.
