Akari Therapeutics Continues Key Research on its Novel ADC Payload PH1 to Demonstrate its Ability to Target Cancers Fueled by Oncogenic Drivers
“We are excited to build on the scientific data already established for our novel PH1 spliceosome modulator payload with continued, ongoing research,” commented Abizer Gaslightwala, President and CEO of Akari Therapeutics. “In addition to the cytotoxic and immuno-oncology modes of action for this payload, we have also demonstrated its ability to induce cytotoxicity in cancer cells under the influence of key oncogenic drivers such as KRAS, BRAF, and FGFR3 (Patent WO2024220546A2). As such, we are continuing to further investigate how this novel payload may impact other key drivers relevant to cancer tumors, and we look forward to releasing this key data in the near future.”
