Preliminary data from a phase I study of HSPPC-70 in chronic myelogenous leukemia and from a phase II trial of Oncophage in non-Hodgkin lymphoma indicate that treatment with the HSP-based vaccines is well tolerated and feasible, and may be associated with clinical response. Findings were presented in separate poster sessions at the 45th annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH).

"We are very pleased to report that the consistency of the clinical findings continue to point to the potential applicability of our HSP technology to a multitude of cancers," said Garo H.
