Tucson drug startup launches gastric-cancer trial
Tucson-based drug startup Cancer Prevention Pharmaceuticals Inc. has announced the launch of a Phase 2 clinical trial at Vanderbilt University Medical Center to test the company’s flagship drug candidate for preventing gastric cancer.
The drug, CPP-1X, will be studied in patients with precancerous gastric lesions who are at high risk for gastric cancer, the company said Monday.
The trial is funded by the National Cancer Institute and run in collaboration with gastroenterologists Dr. Keith T. Wilson and Dr. Douglas R. Morgan of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center.
