Actuate Therapeutics said its treatment for Ewing sarcoma was granted rare pediatric-disease designation from the Food and Drug Administration.
Chief Executive Daniel Schmitt said early clinical data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 trial of elraglusib shows promising anti-tumor activity with objective tumor responses.
Ewing sarcoma is a highly metastatic form of sarcoma that originates in bone with a peak incidence at the age of 15, the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company said.
The FDA's pediatric-disease designation is granted for serious or life-threatening ailments that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S., and which the serious or life-threatening manifestations primarily affect individuals less than 18 years old.
