FDA Fast Track Designation for LYT-200 in AML
“Fast Track designation from the FDA reinforces our belief in the potential for LYT-200 to address the urgent needs of AML patients,” said Luba Greenwood, J.D., Entrepreneur-in-Residence at PureTech who is leading the Gallop Oncology work. “This milestone builds on the FDA’s recognition of LYT-200’s promise, including Orphan Drug designation for AML and a second Fast Track designation for head and neck cancers, both of which were granted last year. By targeting galectin-9, a key driver of cancer proliferation and immune suppression, LYT-200 represents a novel and promising approach for patients in need, and we look forward to the continued development of this program.”
