Raymond Warrell, Jr, CEO of Genta, said: "The last several months have been extraordinarily important. We now believe we will have sufficient financing that will enable release of primary data in our Phase III Genasense trial in melanoma. Certainly, past and recent studies of other drugs in melanoma have proved repeatedly disappointing. "We believe our biomarker-directed approach, coupled with our uniquely targeted new drug, may transform the treatment of this illness and finally offer meaningful benefit for patients. We expect to release results from our Phase III study within the next three months, which if positive should comprise the basis for worldwide regulatory applications." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
