Molecular imaging and therapy developer Aposense has begun a phase II trial of its apoptosis molecular imaging agent.
The study, to be conducted at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the company's fluorine-18-ML-10 compound for the early assessment of metastatic brain tumor response to stereotactic radiosurgery, according to the Petach-Tikva, Israel-based firm.
Patient enrollment is expected to begin shortly, with a target recruitment of 30 to 60 patients, Aposense said. The company also expects several other U.S. cancer centers to participate in the trial.
