GEM-231 (HYBO-165) is an 18mer hybrid oligonucleotide under development by Hybridon for the potential treatment of cancer. Phase I/II dose-escalation trials of GEM-231 in combination with paclitaxel and docetaxel were ongoing in March 2002. At this time, a phase I/II trial of GEM-231 in combination with irinotecan (CPT-11) was initiated in patients with solid tumors. As of February 2003, Hybridon planned to initiate phase II trials in 2003.
