2003 APR 16 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Biomira, Inc., (BIOM; BRA) announced that data from the company's phase II Theratope vaccine trial in metastatic colorectal cancer will be presented as a poster presentation at the 2003 Annual Meeting of ASCO.

The 20-patient colorectal trial completed enrollment in October 2002. The trial was conducted at the Cross Cancer Institute, Edmonton, AB. The lead investigator and ASCO presenter is Charles Butts of the Cross Cancer Institute. The trial was designed to evaluate the safety of the vaccine in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, as well as to evaluate the ability of the vaccine to induce an immune response in these patients when given in combination with first line chemotherapy. The 2003 Annual Meeting abstracts are expected to be publicly available immediately following the meeting on Tuesday, June 3, 2003.

"ASCO received more than 3,700 abstracts this year for review by the Scientific Program Committee. We are very pleased that Butts' abstract was accepted and this will be the venue for presenting the results from this phase II trial. This was our first opportunity to accumulate data using Theratope in combination with chemotherapy. We will be closely studying the results of this trial as we await the final results from our phase III Theratope trial in 1,030 women with metastatic breast cancer. We anticipate those phase III results to be announced towards the end of the first half of 2003," said Alex McPherson, MD, PhD, president and CEO of Biomira.
