“This transformational financing is a significant commitment by top-tier biotech investors who believe in the potential of APR1-1051 to impact the lives of cancer patients,” said Oren Gilad, Ph.D., President and CEO of Aprea. “We believe the proceeds will accelerate the advancement of the ongoing ACESOT-1051 study. Our immediate goal is to expand evaluation of APR-1051 in biologically selected tumor populations where we believe WEE1 inhibition may have meaningful therapeutic relevance.
