Simcere Pharma reported that interim results from a Phase IV trial of its patented anti-cancer drug Endu showed the drug displayed both safety and efficacy. The data were in line with Endu’s Phase III trial. An anti-angiogenesis drug, Endu is a modified version of recombinant human endostatin. It is approved for use in China against non-small cell lung cancer, administered as an adjunct to platinum-class chemotherapy. Simcere said the results showed that Endu has a synergistic effect in this patient population, though the trial did not include patients who received platinum-class chemotherapy by itself.
