About ST101
ST101, a first-in-class antagonist of C/EBP?, is currently being evaluated in patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent GBM (ndGBM and rGBM) in the Phase 2 portion of an ongoing Phase 1-2 clinical study (NCT04478279). In an ongoing window-of-opportunity sub-study, ST101 is being evaluated as a monotherapy in rGBM and in combination with radiation and temozolomide in ndGBM, with patients receiving ST101 before and after surgical resection. ST101 has been granted Fast Track designation for rGBM from the U.S. FDA and orphan designations for glioma from the U.S. FDA and the European Commission.
