Clinical Development
Vion is developing novel agents for the treatment of cancer. We have two small molecule anticancer compounds under evaluation in human clinical trials. Our potential product, laromustine (Cloretazine®, VNP40101M) is being evaluated for the treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in a pivotal Phase 2 trial in elderly de novo poor-risk AML. In addition, three clinical trials of laromustine (Cloretazine®, VNP40101M) are underway in: (i) elderly AML and myelodysplastic syndromes in combination with cytarabine; (ii) brain tumors in combination with temozolomide; and (iii) advanced hematologic malignancies in combination with hematopoietic cell transplantation. Our second potential product, Triapine®, is being evaluated in trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute.
