Light Sciences Oncology, Inc. (LSO) today announced the treatment of the first patient in an investigator-sponsored Phase 1 pediatric study of its novel light-activated drug Aptocine(TM) (talaporfin sodium) in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). Investigators at the Neurofibromatosis/Neuro-Oncology Clinic of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) treated a pediatric patient with NF-1 and plexiform neurofibromas (PN) using Aptocine, which is also in late-stage development for solid tumors. The Neurofibromatosis/Neuro-Oncology Clinic is a program providing care and treatment for children with brain tumors and children with NF-1 and severe and/or life-threatening tumors. Michael Fisher, M.D., at CHOP's Division of Oncology, is the principal investigator of the study.
