Oncothyreon has filed an investigational new drug application with the FDA for PX-866, a small molecule phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase inhibitor for the treatment of advanced cancers.

Following FDA review of this investigational new drug application (IND), the company plans to initiate a Phase I clinical trial of PX-866.
