The companies also plan to extend their collaboration to a clinical trial programme which will evaluate the combination of IRESSA and Gemzar in the treatment of various cancers, including breast and ovarian cancers. The clinical collaboration supplements an ongoing Phase III clinical trial, which is investigating the benefits of IRESSA in combination with Gemzar and cisplatin in NSCLC.
