VAL-083 is a “first-in-class,” small-molecule chemotherapeutic. In more than 40 Phase I and II clinical studies sponsored by the U.S. National Cancer Institute, VAL-083 demonstrated clinical activity against a range of cancers including lung, brain, cervical, ovarian tumors and leukemia both as a single-agent and in combination with other treatments.
“Taken together, these data support VAL-083’s potential to address unmet medical needs in major cancer indications for patients whose tumors have failed, or exhibit features that make them resistant or unlikely to respond to, current standard-of-care chemotherapy,” added Mr. Bacha.
