Plans announced for Ph 2 trial of stenoparib + temozolomide for the treatment of recurrent SCLC
Thomas Jensen, CEO of Allarity Therapeutics, stated, “We are excited to see stenoparib being investigated in additional cancer indications, especially this trial for recurrent SCLC, a patient population with a significant unmet medical need. This trial fits perfectly with our long-term strategy for stenoparib- to leverage the unique clinical benefit we have seen from stenoparib in advanced ovarian cancer for additional cancer indications and our deeper appreciation of its differentiated mechanism of therapeutic action. Given the safety profile of stenoparib we have seen thus far, this study—the first to explore a stenoparib-based combination treatment—may help to establish stenoparib as the PARP inhibitor of choice for therapeutic combinations. This study will further allow Allarity to build out the stenoparib franchise and to drive enterprise value for the whole of Allarity Therapeutics. Importantly, our recently completed drug product campaign more than covers the amount of stenoparib needed for our clinical plans in ovarian cancer, in this combination trial and in others.”
