Sopherion’s current business focus is the execution of a Phase III, global, randomized, registration trial for first line therapy of invasive, metastatic breast cancer and the development and commercialization of Sopherion’s lead agent, Myocet™. Myocet is being investigated in an FDA agreed upon registration trial in combination with two other drugs, Herceptin® (Trastuzumab) and Taxol (Paclitaxel) vs. Herceptin® and Taxol alone, the current standard of care for first line HER-2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer.
