- Los expertos en neuro-oncología de todo el mundo se reunirán en San Francisco, donde se presentarán los datos que apoyan el papel de los campos de tratamiento del tumor (TTFields) en el tratamiento de los tumores cerebrales glioblastoma recurrente

ST. HELIER, Jersey, 18 de noviembre de 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Novocure anunció hoy que se presentarán 15 abstractos preclínicos y clínicos que describen los últimos aspectos de la terapia NovoTTF™ durante la 4th Quadrennial Meeting de la World Federation of Neuro-Oncology (WFNO), que se celebrará al mismo tiempo que la 18th Annual Scientific Meeting de la Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) en San Francisco, California, del 21 al 24 de noviembre de 2013.

"Estamos encantados de anunciar que se presentarán en este prestigioso congreso médico múltiples abstractos que evalúan la terapia NovoTTF y su papel en el tratamiento del cáncer cerebral. La mayor parte de estos abstractos son de prestigiosos expertos en neuro-oncología procedentes de todo el mundo. De forma colectiva, el creciente cuerpo de evidencia apoya la terapia NovoTTF en el tratamiento del glioblastoma recurrente, esclareciendo los mecanismos de acción de la terapia NovoTTF como tratamiento contra el cáncer", explicó Eilon Kirson, doctor, Ph.D., responsable científico de Novocure y responsable de investigación y desarrollo.

Acerca del sistema NovoTTF-100A
El sistema NovoTTF-100A es un dispositivo médico portátil y no invasivo diseñado para su uso continuado durante el día por medio del paciente. El sistema despliega la terapia NovoTTF en el pecho y abdomen. El dispositivo se ha probado en ensayos in vitro e in vivo, demostrando que reduce e invierte el crecimiento de los tumores por medio de la inhibición de la mitosis, un proceso a través del que las células se dividen y replican. El sistema portátil de despliegue crea un campo eléctrico alternante de baja intensidad dentro del tumor que ejerce unas fuerzas físicas en los componentes celulares cargados de forma eléctrica, previniendo los procesos mitóticos normales y causando la muerte de las células cancerígenas. El sistema NovoTTF-100A, un sistema de despliegue de terapia NovoTTF, ha recibido aprobación de marketing en Estados Unidos y cuenta con el permiso de la Marca CE para su venta en la Unión Europea, Suiza, Australia e Israel.

Indicación aprobada
La Administración de Fármacos y Alimentos de Estados Unidos (FDA) aprobó el sistema NovoTTF-100A para su uso como tratamiento en pacientes adultos (de 22 años o mayores) con glioblastoma multiforme confirmado histológicamente (GBM), tras confirmar la recurrencia de la enfermedad. Se prevé que el dispositivo se use como monoterapia a la terapia médica estándar alternativa para el GBM recurrente después de terminar las opciones de radiación y quirúrgicas.

Los pacientes deberán usar solo el sistema NovoTTF-100A bajo supervisión de un médico con formación adecuada para usar el dispositivo.

La información de prescripción completa está disponible en NovoTTFTherapy.com o llamando al número gratuito 1-855-281-9301. La terapia NovoTTF es experimental para el tratamiento de glioblastoma de nueva diagnosis. Limitado por ley solo para uso investigacional. La terapia NovoTTF no está aprobada para el tratamiento de metástasis cerebrales, meningiomas o NSCLC. La seguridad o eficacia de la terapia NovoTTF para estas indicaciones no se ha establecido.
