Item 8.01. Other Events.
Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNX) today presented a summary of current interim results from its ongoing phase 1 trial of the Company’s PSMA ADC antibody-drug conjugate for the treatment of prostate cancer. The presentation, including data from 42 patients who have received doses ranging from 0.4 mg/kg to 2.8 mg/kg, was made at the 2012 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, a meeting co-sponsored by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and the Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO) currently being held in San Francisco.
The presentation materials exhibited at the Symposium will be available for the next 30 days on the Events page of Progenics’ website, www.progenics.com.
PSMA ADC is an antibody-drug conjugate designed to selectively deliver chemotherapy to cells that express prostate-specific membrane antigen, a validated biomarker of prostate cancer. Progenics’ phase 1, dose-escalation trial is studying PSMA ADC in patients with taxane-refractory metastatic prostate cancer.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
