Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

September 24, 2007

Pfizer released positive preliminary results from a phase II trial of sunitinib for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The trial was designed to compare sunitinib (37.5 mg/day) in combination with erlotinib (150 mg/day) in previously treated subjects with advanced NSCLC. The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability. Secondary endpoints included anti-tumor activity. The combination treatment was generally safe and well tolerated, with all adverse events mild to moderate in nature. Two subjects had partial response; one which was maintained for >3 months and one which was currently ongoing. In addition, stable disease up to or more than 16 weeks was observed in two subjects. The randomized portion of this trial is currently underway.
