The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has removed the partial hold it had placed on the clinical development of Telik, Inc’s investigative small molecule Telcyta (canfosfamide HCL, TLK286).
Telcyta is a tumor-activated small molecule investigative agent that is under evaluation for the treatment of advanced ovarian and non-small cell lung cancer. Telcyta was developed using the proprietary drug discovery technology referred to as TRAP®, which is a procedure that allows for the rapid and efficient discovery of potential small molecule drug candidates.
The FDA finished a completed review of data including Telcyta, allowing for subsequent resumption of clinical trial development.
