2001 AUG 23 - (NewsRx Network) -- Atairgin Technologies, Inc. announced that it has completed patient accrual for its U.S. clinical trial designed to evaluate a promising diagnostic marker, bio active lipids, for detection of ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer claims more lives in the U.S. than any other gynecologic malignancy, in part because there is currently no reliable diagnostic tool. The primary objective of the trial is to use Atairgin's lipid assay to confirm the presence of an ovarian malignancy in women with a suspicious pelvic mass. Atairgin expects to complete the sample testing and statistical analysis phases of the trial in the third quarter of 2001 and intends to submit the PMA (premarket approval) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by year end.
