CuraGen expands test of breast cancer drug

06/17/09


Ailing Branford biotech firm CuraGen Corp. announced today the expansion of clinical trials on its treatment for advanced breast cancer, good news for CuraGen's soon-to-be owner.

CuraGen recently agreed to a $95 million buyout by Celldex Therapeutics Inc. of Needham, Mass. The stock transaction will close in the third quarter.

CuraGen said two of the first four eligible patients in the Phase II trial showed enough progress after 12 weeks on its breast cancer treatment to warrant expanded testing to about 25 patients.

Updated study results are expected in the second half of this year, CuraGen said.
