November 20, 2006 8:18 AM EST

NEOPHARM, Inc. (Nasdaq: NEOL) announced the presentation of final Phase 1 safety results at the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) 11th Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL. Data from this 22 patient trial showed that 0.5 ug/mL of CINTREDEKIN BESUDOTOX delivered via Convection-Enhanced Delivery followed by external beam radiation therapy with or without concurrent temozolomide following tumor resection appears to be safe and well-tolerated in patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma.

The Phase 1 trial, which was conducted in six U.S. cancer centers, enrolled patients into four cohorts receiving either 0.25 ug/mL or 0.50 ug/mL CINTREDEKIN BESUDOTOX, with either EBRT alone or EBRT plus temozolomide. The last patient was enrolled in the study approximately 20 weeks ago with patients surviving as long as 113 weeks to date. Patients will continue to be monitored for long-term survival.
