Description

Biricodar (also known as VX-710) was developed by Vertex as a chemosensitizing agent designed to restore the effectiveness of chemotherapeutic agents in tumor multidrug resistance. The phase II trials had commenced for biricodar, in combination with chemotherapy, for five common cancer indications: breast, ovarian, soft-tissue sarcomas, small cell lung cancer, and prostate cancer. In spite of completed trials, development of biricodar was discontinued because of the adverse effects.
