I had contacted the principal investigator in re: to the Phase II study conducted with this drug. Previously, Cholangiocarcinoma had been targeted however, the current Phase II clinical trial only mentioned Pancreatic Cancer.
I received an immediate response to my question:You are correct that some time back we did announce that Triphendiol might potentially benefit Cholangiocarcinoma patients. Its potential to be used in this indication is undiminished and we are confident that it could be equally effective in cholangiocarcinoma as it seems to be in pancreatic cancer and we continue to pursue this indication in pre-clinical studies. However to simplify the clinical development program towards registration we have decided to target pancreatic cancer in our Phase II trials. Should we achieve registration for this indication the drug could be used
After contacting the Group Director of Research (Prof. J. Husband) of Marshall Edwards Inc. (an Australian company) in re: to the beginning date of this clinical trial, I have been informed that a start date for the trial approved under this IND has not been set. The Principal Investigator is:
