Philadelphia, PA (May 19, 2020) "“ Oncoceutics, Inc. announced that the latest research findings with ONC201 and its novel class of imipridones will be presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) on June 22-24, 2020.
The research presented at AACR highlights the antitumor and cancer prevention activity of ONC201 in tumor types with dysregulation of its two binding targets DRD2 and ClpP: H3 K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma, endometrial cancer, medullary thyroid cancer, small cell lung cancer, and colon cancer. The presentations further highlight novel ONC201 biomarkers that help to further inform the clinical efficacy profile of ONC201 and newly discovered synergistic combinations of ONC201 with chemotherapies and several targeted therapies that suggest new approaches to treat patients with advanced cancers.
Additional research features the preclinical efficacy of ONC206 and ONC212 as single agents and in combination in a broad set of tumor types, including endometrial cancer, brain tumors and pancreatic cancer. Research led by Varun Prabhu, Vice President R&D at Oncoceutics, and several collaborators summarize the unique mechanism of action of ONC206, which will be featured in an oral presentation on June 24.
