ONC201 and ONC206 Activity in Neuro-Oncology to be Presented at SNO Conference

logo

Philadelphia, PA (November 20, 2019)Oncoceutics, Inc. announced that new data will be presented on the efficacy and mechanism of action of imipridones ONC201 and ONC206 at the 24th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Neuro-Oncology, to be held November 20th-24th in Phoenix, Arizona.

These data will highlight exciting findings that have emerged over the past year, including:

  • Updated clinical results for ONC201 in pediatric and adult H3 K27M-mutant gliomas
  • Extension of ONC201 activity to other brain tumors
  • Synergy antitumor activity of ONC201 in combination with other treatments
  • Activity of ONC206 in medulloblastoma
  • IND-enabling studies with ONC206
  • Distinctions in the activity of ONC201 and ONC206
  • Inhibition of mitochondrial function by ONC201
  • The capability of the imipridone family to bind to distinct molecular targets

Oncoceutics and academic investigators will present a range of results with imipridones that will include mechanistic and efficacy findings from preclinical models that detail their unique therapeutic potential in neuro-oncology. In addition, updated safety, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and efficacy results from clinical trials with ONC201 in high-grade glioma patients will be reported. These results are largely derived from the ongoing clinical program that is dedicated to exploring ONC201 a molecularly-defined patient population (H3 K27M-mutant glioma). The rationale for the upcoming first-in-human clinical trial of ONC206 in adult recurrent CNS tumors will also be highlighted.

Oncoceutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage drug discovery and development company with a novel class of compounds, called “imipridones,” that selectively target G protein-coupled receptors for oncology. The first lead compound to emerge from this program is ONC201, an orally active small molecule DRD2 antagonist, the first one that exhibits a highly specific bi-topic binding to the receptor. The company is supported by grants from the NCI, FDA, The Musella Foundation, and a series of private and public partnerships.
