MISSION VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aeolus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AOLS) announced today the initiation of a study to test the anti-tumor effects of AEOL 10150 when combined with radiation and chemotherapy in nude mice bearing human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) xenografts. This study, led by Zeljko Vujaskovic, M.D. Ph.D. of Duke University, is designed to build on the growing body of pre-clinical data that shows that AEOL 10150 protects healthy tissue from radiation damage, while not interfering with the effectiveness of radiotherapy in killing tumors. AEOL 10150 has also been shown to be an effective treatment for damage to the lungs due to exposure to radiation.
