FDA Rare Pediatric Disease Designation Granted to Elraglusib for Treatment of Ewing Sarcoma
“Receiving rare pediatric disease designation from the FDA underscores the urgent need for new treatment options for patients with EWS and recognizes elraglusib’s transformative potential,” said Daniel Schmitt, President & Chief Executive Officer of Actuate. “Early clinical data from our ongoing Phase 1/2 trial show promising anti-tumor activity with objective tumor responses, including two ongoing durable Complete Responses (CRs) in the first six patients treated with relapsed/refractory EWS, reinforcing our confidence in elraglusib’s potential impact in this challenging disease setting. We are committed to advancing elraglusib’s clinical development with the ultimate goal of providing new therapeutic options where current approaches are unsatisfactory.”
