Alfacell has completed patient enrollment in a confirmatory Phase IIIb clinical trial for ONCONASE in patients suffering from unresectable malignant mesothelioma (UMM) and reached the required number of evaluable events to conduct the formal statistical analyses required to complete the final sections of the ONCONASE rolling NDA. The company has completed enrollment in its Phase I clinical trials for patients suffering from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other solid tumors and is now currently planning for the follow-on Phase II clinical trials. In addition to a recently completed Phase IIIb study in malignant mesothelioma, Alfacell is currently planning for Phase II clinical trials in other oncology indications. Factors that would cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, uncertainty whether the clinical trial results will allow the company to complete submission of a New Drug Application and if a New Drug Application submission is completed, uncertainty whether FDA will file or approve such application, uncertainties involved in transitioning from concept to product, uncertainties involving the ability of the company to finance research and development activities, potential challenges to or violations of patents, uncertainties regarding the outcome of clinical trials or differences of opinion in interpreting the results of clinical trials, the company’s ability to secure necessary approvals from regulatory agencies, dependence upon third-party vendors, and other risks discussed in the company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. read more
