Enrollment opens in Ph 1 Clinical Trial Evaluating Treatment of Malignant Brain Tumors with APTN-101
“Opening enrollment in the Phase 1 trial is an important milestone in the clinical development of APTN-101, a potential best-in-class therapy for the treatment of glioblastoma,” said Michael J. Roberts, Ph.D., President and CEO of Adaptin Bio. “In preclinical studies, APTN-101 demonstrated impressive efficacy targeting glioma cells with precision, eliminating some malignant glioma tumors across multiple aggressive disease models. Our proprietary BRiTE technology was developed to enhance APTN-101’s ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, to selectively target and then attack glioma tumor cells. We believe this mechanism of action is a significant innovation that provides a key differentiator compared to standard-of-care therapies. Since such standard-of-care therapies (including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy) are not curative, disease recurrence is common. As a result, patients diagnosed with GBM currently have a median survival of only 12 to 18 months with just 5% of patients surviving beyond five years. Given the promising preclinical data that has been generated for APTN-101 so far, we believe that leveraging the BRiTE technology with APTN-101 has potential to become an important therapeutic option for patients diagnosed with this difficult-to-treat disease.”
