Telik, Inc. , announced today that the European Patent Office has issued notices of allowance for two applications covering new compounds related to one of Telik's lead clinical candidates, Telintra(R). Corresponding applications have already issued as patents in the United States; and other applications are pending in major countries worldwide.
TELINTRA is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of Myelodysplastic Syndrome, a form of pre-leukemia, and for Chemotherapy Induced Neutropenia, a common side effect of chemotherapy. Telik expects these applications and patents to provide broad intellectual property protection to compounds related to TELINTRA, according to Derek Freyberg, Ph.D., Telik's VP, Intellectual Property. The patents will help to broaden and strengthen Telik's intellectual property estate and may support additional clinical development candidates.
