The Company (Nasdaq:DARA) announced that the University of Rochester in concert with ADEPT has selected the study results from the KRN5500 Phase 2 study to be presented at its March 25-26, 2011 conference. The presentation is entitled, "Management of Placebo Response in a Randomized Trial of KRN5500 in Patients with Neuropathic Pain and Cancer."
The presentation will provide results from analyses of a recently completed randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, dose escalation study designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of a novel spicamycin derivative, KRN5500, in patients with advanced cancer experiencing neuropathic pain. Placebo response in these types of studies often dilutes the ability to detect potential drug effects. The presentation will explore the ramifications of placebo response in randomized, controlled trials for analgesia.
