WELLINGTON, June 13 (Xinhua) -- A new cancer drug designed by New Zealand scientists has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to enter clinical trials, a university statement said on Monday. The drug, PWT33597, is a dual inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol- 3-kinase (PI3K) alpha and mTOR, two key molecules implicated in cancer. Developed by scientists from the University of Auckland and the Maurice Wilkins Center for Molecular Biodiscovery, it had been licensed to Pathway Therapeutics Inc., a company jointly established by the two institutions in 2008. Pathway Therapeutics had also secured an additional 7.5 million U.S. dollars in investment to undertake phase one clinical trials. The drug was the first agent with such a biological profile to enter the clinic, said a statement issued by the university Monday. Initially, a phase one trial would evaluate the safety of escalating doses of PWT33597 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Pathway Therapeutics benefited from investment from the Breast Cancer Research Trust. It had moved to San Francisco, but still had a significant level of New Zealand shareholding, said the statement.New cancer drug from new zealand set for u s clinical trials - Turbo Cartridge ManufacturerNew cancer drug from new zealand set for u s clinical trials - Turbo Cartridge ManufacturerNew cancer drug from new zealand set for u s clinical trials - Turbo Cartridge ManufacturerNew cancer drug from new zealand set for u s clinical trials - Turbo Cartridge ManufacturerNew cancer drug from new zealand set for u s clinical trials - Turbo Cartridge ManufacturerNew cancer drug from new zealand set for u s clinical trials - Turbo Cartridge ManufacturerNew cancer drug from new zealand set for u s clinical trials - Turbo Cartridge ManufacturerNew cancer drug from new zealand set for u s clinical trials - Turbo Cartridge ManufacturerNew cancer drug from new zealand set for u s clinical trials - Turbo Cartridge Manufacturer We are high quality suppliers, our products such as Turbo Cartridge Manufacturer , Garrett Turbocharger Manufacturer for oversee buyer.
