LONDON (ShareCast) - Initial findings from cancer drug developer Antisoma’s phase II trial of AS1411 in relapsed and refractory AML (acute myeloid leukaemia) have been well received today.

Patients are now being enrolled into a higher dose stage of the trial in patients with renal cancer, expected to start before the end of this year.

Financial software group Gresham Computing gave up some of Friday’s gains when it said that trading has improved “markedly” in the first six months and expects to report a “significantly improved result” for the period.

“We are working to continue this trend of improved results into the second half of 2008, delivering against a strong confirmed order book and prospect pipeline within our core real-time financial solutions business,” it said. The group said it continues to make solid progress with each of its core technologies.

“I am looking forward to us delivering some truly great solutions to our customers over the next six months and, as a result, an improved trading performance for 2008 and beyond,” added Gresham.
