EYE ON

MILLENNIUM (MLNM): In collaboration with Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, LLC, Millennium is initiating PEAK (Prospective Evaluation of bortezomib in Adenocarcinoma with bronchioalveolar features as a Keystone of therapy). This is a multicenter phase II clinical trial of VELCADE in patients with either advanced BAC or adenocarcinoma with BAC features that have progressed on or after receiving one to two lines of chemotherapy, one of which must have been an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGRF TKI). The open-label study will assess efficacy in terms of tumor response rate measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines.

"Millennium, and our partner Johnson and Johnson, are committed to investigating VELCADE as a therapy for lung cancer and this trial is an integral component of our global development plan," said David Schenkein, M.D., senior vice president, clinical research, Millennium. "In reviewing previous VELCADE experiences, we saw several dramatic single-agent responses in patients with BAC and we are eager to explore the potential of VELCADE so that we may be able to offer new options for patients in need."

 Velcade is a new weapon in the arsenal available against cancer. Besides multiple myeloma, the drug could emerge as a breakthrough treatment for cancers resistant to conventional and new biological treatments. This is what the firm’s fans are waiting for and we believe is worth the resilience.
