Evgen Pharma plc announced that the laboratory of Dr Marjolein Geurts, neuro-oncologist at the Erasmus University Medical Centre has observed continuing activity of SFX-01 in GBM cells. The in vitro studies, which are supported by a grant awarded by the KWF Dutch Cancer Society for a ?1.1m project, are designed to investigate the activity of SFX-01 in preclinical GBM models. This work is to be followed by administration of SFX-01 to patients with GBM in a clinical Investigator Sponsored Study (ISS).
