November 3, 2009

Synta Pharmaceuticals Announces Updated Elesclomol SYMMETRYSM Data Presented at Melanoma XIII | www.businesswire.com

Updated data presented at an annual Melanoma conference suggests the drug Elesclomol may benefit a subset of patients treated on a Phase III trial. This Synta Pharmaceuticals-sponsored trial in metastatic melanoma patients was stopped for safety (survival) concerns in February 2009, but the updated analysis suggests that a commonly available biomarker may identify patients who appear to benefit from Elesclomol treatment.This news is important because it may allow Synta to continue to pursue approval for Elesclomol in either melanoma patients or in other cancers. They will report an updated survival analysis twelve months after the protocol was stopped, after February 2010. Further info from Synta is expected soon.
