First Patient Treated in Pivotal ENLIGHTED Study of Padeliporfin ImPACT in Low Grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer
Steba Biotech, the Immune Photo Activate Cancer Treatment (ImPACT) specialist, today announces the treatment of the first patient in ENLIGHTED, its pivotal Phase 3 trial of Padeliporfin ImPACT for the treatment of Low Grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer (UTUC). David Perry, Head of Research and Development, said, “The successful initiation of the pivotal trial for padeliporfin ImPACT is an important milestone in our ambitious new development program. Our aim is to unlock the potential of our novel oncology platform, Padeliporfin ImPACT, on solid tumors with high unmet medical need. Targeting diseases such as UTUC, where surgery is either impossible or clinically undesirable could be very beneficial for patients living with these conditions. The ENLIGHTED trial is one of two clinical and five pre-clinical programs that we are advancing this year.”
