FDA Clears IND Application for FAP-Exatecan (AVA6103)
Christina Coughlin, MD, PhD, Chief Executive Officer at Avacta Therapeutics commented, “Taking FAP-Exd into the clinic is a critical milestone for the pre|CISION® platform and for the Company. In moving the FAP-Exd program forward from inception to a cleared IND in just 24 months, our team has exceeded industry standard timelines. The sustained release mechanism of FAP-Exd, invented by Avacta, is expected to enable greater efficacy in the clinic while limiting the toxicities that were observed with exatecan in its original clinical development. We are very excited to move this program forward for patients and shareholders alike.”
