Ph 2 Study of Opaganib and Darolutamide Initiated in metastatic CRPC
“Prostate cancer is the second most diagnosed cancer in the world with around 1.5 million new cases per year, causing the death of almost 400,000 men every year, while millions more men are living with prostate cancer resulting in a significant burden of disease,” said Dr Mark Levitt, RedHill’s Chief Scientific Officer. “Men with mCRPC have few treatment options available to them, and those positive for the PCPro marker of ARPI-resistance seem to have a particularly poor prognosis. Darolutamide is establishing itself as a key therapy in the treatment of prostate cancer, a market worth approximately $12 billion in 2023, and, if the addition of opaganib can reduce the resistance to darolutamide therapy, this could represent a significant breakthrough in improving the ability to manage advanced treatment-resistant mCRPC for improved outcomes.”

“In the first reported data from the clinical combinations of our PRMT5 inhibitor vopimetostat and RAS(ON) inhibitors, we saw extremely encouraging early results, with 92% of patients with PDAC in the vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib arm achieving an objective response, supporting the preclinical data showing synergistic activity of PRMT5 + RAS
“Non-small cell lung cancer is the most prevalent lung disease with more than 8,000 patients in the U.S. diagnosed each year with KRAS G12D-mutations. Receiving Fast Track designation for VS-7375 reinforces both the significant unmet need and the potential of VS-7375 to improve outcomes for patients with KRAS G12D-mutated lung
“KRAS has notoriously been considered an undruggable target and patients with KRAS-driven cancers continue to face limited treatment options with survival measured in months, not years,” said John Reed, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Innovative Medicine, Research & Development, Johnson & Johnson. “We believe the proprietary Firelink™ platform will overcome
