In 2007, enrollment began for a phase 3 study in NSCLC. Additionally, we are conducting head-to-head phase 2 studies of this agent versus bevacizumab in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer and NSCLC. Motesanib diphosphate is also being investigated in combination with other anti-cancer therapies. Phase 1b combination studies in multiple tumor types are ongoing.
In 2007, we completed a phase 2 trial in advanced thyroid cancer and were encouraged by the clear evidence of biological activity in this setting, as judged by response rate criteria. However, based on our discussions with the FDA, we have decided not to file for approval for motesanib diphosphate in thyroid cancer until there is more clarity on what a regulatory filing package would constitute for this indication.
