Light Sciences Oncology is developing Light Infusion Therapy (Litx), an innovative light-activated treatment for solid tumors. LSO is currently developing Litx for the treatment of patients with cancers such as hepatoma, metastatic colorectal cancer and glioma, for  which the current therapeutic alternatives are of limited efficacy. Litx has been designed to treat a wide range of solid tumors, including previously treated or untreatable tumors, and to be used repeatedly throughout a patient's life as needed. LSO’s goal is to enable physicians to use Litx to treat cancer as a chronic disease. Treatment of patients with hepatoma has begun in a Phase III trial, the final trial required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prior to commercial registration of a drug. Patient treatments in a Phase III trial for metastatic colorectal cancer and a Phase II trial for glioma have also commenced. A Phase III trial for glioma is scheduled to begin in mid 2007.
