Polaris Group Announces Treatment of First Patient in Phase 1 Study of ADI-PEG 20 plus FOLFOX in Advanced Gastrointestinal Malignancies Feb 03, 2015, 13:15 ET from Polaris Group SAN DIEGO, Feb. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Polaris Group announced today that the first patient has been dosed in its Phase 1 trial of ADI-PEG 20 in combination with folinic acid (leucovorin), fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) for the treatment of advanced gastrointestinal malignancies. In addition to a global Phase 3 study in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) featuring ADI-PEG 20 as a monotherapy, Polaris Group is currently conducting clinical trials on ADI-PEG 20 in combination with cisplatin in melanoma and ovarian cancer, in combination with sorafenib in HCC, in combination with doxorubicin in HER2 negative breast cancer, in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer and in combination with cisplatin and pemetrexed in malignant pleural mesothelioma and non-small cell lung carcinoma. "FOLFOX is used in the treatment of many gastrointestinal cancers, and the combination of ADI-PEG 20 to this well-established regimen is based on numerous lines of preclinical data," said John Bomalaski, M.D., Executive Vice President of Medical Affairs at Polaris. "We are pleased to start another trial of ADI-PEG 20 in combination with multi-agent current first line therapy, and hope that the addition of ADI-PEG 20, which has a different mechanism of action than these standard chemotherapies, will result in both safety and added efficacy."
