Navidea Biopharmaceuticals Announces Positive Results of First Interim Analysis of Ongoing Phase 2B Study in Rheumatoid Arthritis - Seite 2

Michael Rosol, Chief Medical Officer for Navidea, said, “These results support our hypotheses for Arms 1 and 2 of this trial and are key for the path forward to the Phase 3. The demonstration that Tc 99m tilmanocept imaging is stable and has low variability enables us to proceed with confidence in testing our hypothesis that this can be an early indicator of therapeutic efficacy in these patients.” Dr. Rosol continued, “With these exciting results in hand, we continue to enroll subjects as planned to complete this Phase 2B and prepare for the upcoming Phase 3.”

Jed Latkin, Navidea’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am very pleased that the results of this interim analysis are so encouraging. It reaffirms that we are heading in the right direction with our clinical trial pipeline in rheumatoid arthritis. I look forward to continuing this momentum into the Phase 3.”

RA is a chronic disease affecting over 1.3 million Americans and as much as 1% of the worldwide population.¹ If the product is successfully developed, Navidea would expect to play a major role in the management of RA patients worldwide.
