OGXI announced today that data from three studies of their investigational compound custirsen in castrate resistant prostate cancer will be presented at the 47th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago, June 3-7, 2011.
Custirsen is the only compound in development designed to inhibit the production of clusterin, a protein commonly over-produced in cancer cells and a potential cause of treatment resistance.
