AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

William Slichenmyer, M.D., Sc.M., chief medical officer at AVEO, said, "We are delighted with the interest tivozanib is receiving from the oncology community as a potential new treatment option for patients with RCC and other forms of cancer. We are eagerly awaiting the top-line data from our Phase 3 TIVO-1 trial in mid-2011, and based on the results of our Phase 2 clinical trial, we believe that tivozanib may be an important new therapy for patients with RCC."
