SAN DIEGO, Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Ambit Biosciences Corporation announced today the enrollment and dosing at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center of the first patient in the ACE (AC220 Monotherapy Efficacy) Phase 2 pivotal trial in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AC220 is a novel, orally available, potent and highly selective small molecule that was specifically designed as a FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) inhibitor. The ACE study is designed to be a pivotal trial that could potentially support a United States regulatory filing for AC220 to address a targeted AML patient population with the internal tandem duplication (ITD) activating mutation for FLT3.
