Ph 1/2 Program Initiated for Elraglusib in refractory melanoma and additional target solid tumor and heme cancers
“With the promising results we have seen with the IV formulation of elraglusib across an array of difficult-to-treat cancers, we are excited to advance the oral tablet formulation in additional indications, including patients with R/R metastatic melanoma,” said Dan Schmitt, Chief Executive Officer of Actuate Therapeutics. “Elraglusib oral tablet will allow us to further explore elraglusib dose using a convenient and easily administered tablet dosage form that will be amenable to evaluation as a single agent. The program builds on encouraging results from our phase 1 monotherapy clinical trial with the IV formulation, including a remarkable complete response lasting more than 6 years from a patient with highly advanced, highly disseminated, refractory BRAFV600E-mutated metastatic melanoma. We believe the elraglusib oral tablet will have the potential to play an important role in addressing a significant unmet need in the treatment of refractory melanoma as well as other advanced cancer indications.”
