Monday August 7, 8:30 am ET

NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 2006--Novelos Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB: NVLT - News), a biotechnology company focused on the development of therapeutics to treat cancer and hepatitis, today announced that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation to NOV-002 for use in combination with first-line chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The FDA's Fast Track program is designed to facilitate the development and accelerate the review process for new drugs that have the potential to address a serious and unmet medical need for conditions such as advanced NSCLC.

Right now, Novelos Therapeutics is accepting patients for their adjunct chemo.
Limited to only 840 lung cancer.

If my links do not work please contact me.

There is a Phase III clinical trial to find out whether or not the combination of NOV-002 with chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) is better at improving overall survival time when compared to chemotherapy alone in people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

It's not a cure for all cancer and the benefits for other cancers (Ovarian) remain to be investigated.

How on earth would they find a cure for small-cell lung cancer in the long run?
I think it works differently, really.

Is this avalible for everyone?
