ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov. 05, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (RNN), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing next generation therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, announced today that interim clinical data from an ongoing Phase IIa study of its novel anti-cancer drug candidate, Archexin®, will be presented on Friday, November 6, 2015 at the 14th International Kidney Cancer Symposium in Miami, Florida.
“We are excited to present interim data from the ongoing Phase IIa clinical trial showing that Archexin, in combination with everolimus (Afinitor®), appears to be safe and well tolerated at the doses tested to date. We have also noted early evidence of clinical activity at low doses in patients with metastatic kidney cancer,” commented Peter D.
