Celgene: Phase 2 REVLIMID Data Published In Medical Journal

Celgene Corp (CELG) announced late on Wednesday that data from its phase 2 clinical study of REVLIMID was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

REVLIMID is an immunomodulatory agent being studied in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

Patients affected will exhibit a high number of immature blood cells, and a low concentration of mature red blood cells.

In the current phase 2 study REVLIMID showed a hematologic response, and a high level of cytogenetic activity.
