Oncolix, Inc. announced that the company’s clinical site investigator has initiated patient recruitment for the second dosing group for the Prolanta™ Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Patient dosing is anticipated to begin during the first quarter of 2018. The drug supply for this dosing group is scheduled to be shipped to the clinic from the contract manufacturer during January. Prolanta™ is being evaluated in an open-label dose escalation Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Patients are divided into three dosing groups, or cohorts. Each sequential cohort will evaluate a higher dose of Prolanta™. Patients will be evaluated over a 99-day period. Initial dosing for 28 days is followed by a two-week safety assessment period, and then continues for an additional 56 days if no toxicities are observed. The first cohort, treated with the lowest dose, was completed, and has shown no serious adverse events or dose-limiting toxicity.
