The move. In effect, meant at least a temporary halt in efforts to win federal ap proval of the controversial cancer drug and put it on the market. Dr. Stevan Durovlc, a ref ugee Yugoslav physician who 'first extracted the substance from the blood serum of horses 16 years ago, withdrew his application in a letter to Anthony J. Celebreeze, sec' retary of the Department of Health, Education and wet fare (HEW). He said the government had waned a fight against "an unbiased clinical test" of the drug with "unheard-of pres sure, the spreading of false statements to the press, an at tempt to frame me and now an attempt to Indict me." He told Celebreeze he had "lost hope that your depart ment will ever solve this con troversy In good .faith." The latest attempts to secure an evaluation of kre biozen from the National Can cer Institute (NCI) and the Food and Drug Administra tion (FDA) bogged down in a welter of charges and counter charges. Federal officials maintained that information provided by the drug's sponsors was Inad equate for a thorough test. Durovlc and Dr. Andrew C. Ivy, who has virtually staked .his professional career on his support of the drug, main tained they submitted ade quate information. Krebtozen has long been opposed fay the American Medical ' Association ,(AMA), which maintains the drug is worthless In the treatment of cancer. Ivy Is perhaps the one per son most caught up in the krebiozcn controversy. A phy siologist of considerable re pute, he lost Ills post as vice president of the University of Illinois where he first tested the drug and found it had "merit."
