Randomized controlled trial of Nana-val in EBV-positive PTCL patients planned to begin in the second half of 2025 to support potential registration
“In the second quarter, we took several important steps to drive forward our clinical development program for Nana-val, our first-in-class, all-oral combination treatment regimen for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated cancers,” said Mark Rothera, President and Chief Executive Officer of Viracta. “We received productive feedback from our meeting with the FDA and are encouraged by additional positive data from the ongoing NAVAL-1 trial, particularly in the second-line EBV-positive PTCL subgroup. To optimize the clinical benefit of Nana-val, we plan to focus on the second-line EBV-positive PTCL subpopulation in the NAVAL-1 trial’s expansion phase and initiate a randomized controlled trial in 2025 to potentially support registration. We believe our sharpened focus on the EBV-positive lymphoma program will propel us forward to key milestones and support our speed to market strategy. We look forward to providing more updates on our progress.”
