PICOPLATIN
Completed Trials
Approximately 20 clinical trials undertaken by previous investigators studying approximately
1,100 patients have established the safety of the Picoplatin compound used as a mono-therapy
as well as in combinations, and investigated efficacy in Phase II and III trials

In a controlled study with 101 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, Picoplatin demonstrated a 67% reduction in neuropathy compared to Oxaliplatin, the current standard of care, and the Picoplatin group experienced no severe neuropathy (versus 12% in the control group).
A Phase III study of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients achieved a secondary endpoint of improvement in progression fee survival, but failed to reach a statistical significance in overall survival (the primary endpoint of the trial).
Our goal is to correct the challenges faced by previous Picoplatin clinical trials using the the predictive capability of our genomic technology.
As we analyzed the data from the previous trials retrospectively implementing our genomic predictors, both clinically and statistically significant
improvements were observed for patients with resistant- and early-relapsing disease, a group that has no approved treatment.
In summary, Picoplatin has demonstrated efficacy potential in multiple cancer types. Extensive existing clinical data shows a clear path towards
potential regulatory approval -- better safety profile and drug’s ability to overcome platinum resistance, especially when supplemented with
our genomic technology for patient selection.
