Geert Kersten, Chief Executive Officer said, "We made good progress in our very large Phase III head and neck cancer clinical trial this year. In the fall of 2012 we were able to announce the first positive safety review by the Data Safety Monitoring Board, composed of independent leading experts in the head and neck cancer space, letting the global Phase III clinical continue to enroll patients. We feel good about what are seeing and are expanding the study further to include more US and European clinical sites."
