AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVEO), released preliminary results from an ongoing Phase 1b clinical trial evaluating the company’s lead product candidate, tivozanib, a highly potent and selective inhibitor of VEGF receptors 1, 2, and 3, in combination with paclitaxel (Taxol®), a standard chemotherapy regimen, in patients with metastatic breast cancer. The combination was considered safe at the full recommended tivozanib dose (1.5 mg/day) and standard paclitaxel dose, and demonstrated encouraging clinical activity in patients with metastatic breast cancer. These data were presented in a poster session Friday at the 33rd Annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in San Antonio, Texas by Erica L. Mayer, M.D., M.P.H., medical oncologist, Breast Oncology Center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and lead investigator in the study.
The Phase 1b open-label, dose-escalation study assessed once-daily, oral tivozanib (sequential cohorts of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mg/day for three weeks on, one week off) and paclitaxel (once-weekly intravenously for three weeks on, one week off) in 18 patients with metastatic breast cancer, all of whom had prior taxane therapy and most of whom had prior bevacizumab therapy. With a mean duration of treatment of 22.2 weeks, key findings included:
* Confirmed partial responses were observed in five of the 18 patients, as evaluated by standard Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)
* Objective response rate (ORR) was 28 percent and 44 percent of patients achieved disease control
* Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 10.4 months
* Drug-related adverse events were not observed in association with the combination that were more frequent or severe than those observed in previous studies with tivozanib or paclitaxel alone
* There were no unexpected drug-related serious adverse events in the study
AVEO Pharmaceuticals a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing cancer therapeutics, integrates a proprietary cancer biology platform with drug development and commercial expertise in its efforts to discover and develop targeted cancer therapeutics. The company's lead product candidate, tivozanib, is an oral, triple VEGF receptor inhibitor with a highly differentiated profile.

PWRM engages in commercializing its intellectual properties in the area of diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.
The scientific team is on the leading edge of the proteomics industry through their discovery of protein footprints, pathways, and mechanisms of disease. These discoveries are being used to develop screening and diagnostic tests for the early detection and treatment of disease. The protein biomarkers, drug targets, and diagnostic tests are targeted toward markets with critical unmet needs in areas such as breast cancer, neurodegenerative disease and drug resistance in cancer. The Company is in a strong competitive position with over 190 identified biomarkers and a state-of-the-art proteomics laboratory.
PWRM delivered four poster presentations at the 2010 International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease (ICAD) in Honolulu, Hawaii. These presentations discussed NuroPro, Power3’s diagnostic test, and focused on PWRM ’s Alzheimer’s disease blood serum biomarkers, test and clinical validation trials.
President and Chief Scientific Officer of Power3, Dr. Ira L. Goldknopf, commented: “In preparation for commercialization, our objective at this meeting was to show how Power3’s protein biomarkers and blood tests provide superior solutions for diagnosis and drug response to improve the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. It was gratifying to receive substantial attention to our posters from representatives of major pharma and clinical research institutions from around the world. They expressed surprise and enthusiasm for our findings, especially those relating to the methods by which PWRM’s protein biomarkers indicate how patients respond to treatment with the three major anti-dementia drugs.”
