Results Shown in BioCancell Compassionate Use Trial Using BC-819 for Treatment of Renal Cancer
TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tikcro Technologies Ltd. (OTCBB: TIKRF) today reported that BioCancell Therapeutics, Inc. announced that a compassionate use trial of BC-819 was performed with a single patient in Israel suffering from TCC (Transitional Cell Carcinoma) in his renal pelvis.
The patient had previously undergone nephrectomy (kidney removal) of his right kidney for similar reasons, and was a candidate for nephrectomy of his left kidney, which would have forced him to undergo dialysis for the remainder of his life.
After receiving the relevant approvals, the patient received a series of six treatments for BC-819, 10mg each, injected into his renal pelvis.
Since the completion of the treatment of BC-819, about four months ago, test results show that no new growths were formed in the renal pelvis. The treatment did not cause any serious adverse effects. The patient reported that he continued to function and work with a similar quality of life as previously.
Tikcro holds 34% in BioCancell upon conversion and exercise of the securities it holds.
