Description | NeoPharm is developing liposome-encapsulated, c-Raf antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (LErafAON) for the potential treatment of various solid tumors, including those that have become resistant to radiation or chemotherapy. Phase I/II trials commenced in March 2001 and were ongoing as of June 2003. |
Indication/Disease | Intended for the treatment of various forms of cancer. |
Pharmacodynamics | NA |
Mechanism of Action | Raf-1 protein serine threonine kinase plays an important role in cell survival and proliferation. Antisense inhibition of Raf-1 expression by drugs such as LErafAON has been shown to enhance the cytotoxic effects of radiation and anticancer drugs. |
