APG101 blocks the CD95 ligand CD95L from binding to the CD95 receptor CD95 . So far, APG101 has been tested in 20 healthy volunteers and 32 patients. It was well tolerated and has shown no serious side effects. ref www.biocentury.com products apg101 ref Currently, APG101 s efficacy is being tested in a clinical phase II study with patients suffering from Glioblastoma. The ongoing study was initiated at the beginning of 2010 and is expected to run through 2011. A total of 83 patients will be enrolled in the trial. At the moment, patient recruitment is still ongoing. ref ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, http clinicaltrials.gov ct2 show NCT01071837 ref APG101 constitutes an innovative approach to treating GBM since it has the therapeutic aim to inhibit the invasive growth of glioblastoma cells.
