Elevation Oncology has won Food and Drug Administration fast-track designation for EO-3021, its lead drug candidate, in certain patients with gastrointestinal cancers.
Elevation on Monday said the designation covers EO-3021 in adults with advanced or metastatic gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancer expressing the marker protein Claudin 18.2 that has progressed on or after prior therapy.
The FDA's fast-track program is designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of treatments for serious or potentially life-threatening illnesses with high unmet medical needs.
Elevation, a Boston oncology company, is studying EO-3021 in a Phase 1 trial in patients with advanced, unresectable or metastatic solid tumors likely to express Claudin 18.2.
