AB Science: shares climb after drug shows promise
(CercleFinance.com) - AB Science is up more than 3% after announcing that the results of the masitinib study AB12003 on castrate-resistant prostate cancer were presented during the annual meeting of the American Urological Association between 10 and 13 September.
According to this presentation, masitinib at a dose of 6.0 mg/kg/day combined with docetaxel produces a significant benefit for progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with ALP levels equal to or lower than 250 UI/mL.
No PFS benefit has been observed in the overall population. The tolerance profile of masitinib associated with docetaxel was acceptable relative to control and in accordance with the known risk profile, with no new safety signals observed.
