The drug-related adverse effects sobserved were elevated liver enzymes with normal bilirubin, fatigue and gastrointestinal symptoms.
CytRx president and CEO Steven Kriegsman said that due to the low incidence of adverse events, the dose of bafetinib can be increased, thus increasing the potential for greater efficacy.
