| SAN DIEGO, March 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTRA) (“Kintara” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of new solid tumor cancer therapies, today announces that it will be presenting data at the 2022 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting. The AACR 2022 Annual Meeting will be held from April 8 through April 13, 2022 in New Orleans. Data Presentation: Track 24: Experimental and Molecular Therapeutics Session PO.ET02.01 - Mechanisms of Drug Action 1 1843 / 15 - Dianhydrogalactitol (VAL-083) for the Treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM): Impact of Glucose Transporters for Crossing the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) (Presentation Time: Monday, April 11, 2022 - 1:30 to 5:00 pm CT) About Kintara VAL-083 is a “first-in-class,” small-molecule chemotherapeutic with a novel mechanism of action that has demonstrated clinical activity against a range of cancers, including central nervous system, ovarian and other solid tumors (e.g., NSCLC, bladder cancer, head and neck) in U.S. clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Based on Kintara’s internal research programs and these prior NCI-sponsored clinical studies, Kintara is currently advancing VAL-083 in the GBM AGILE study to support the development and commercialization of VAL-083 in GBM. Kintara is also advancing its proprietary, late-stage photodynamic therapy platform that holds promise as a localized cutaneous, or visceral, tumor treatment as well as in other potential indications. REM-001 therapy has been previously studied in four Phase 2/3 clinical trials in patients with CMBC who had previously received chemotherapy and/or failed radiation therapy. With clinical efficacy to date of 80% complete responses of CMBC evaluable lesions, and with an existing robust safety database of approximately 1,100 patients across multiple indications, Kintara is advancing the REM-001 CMBC program to late-stage pivotal testing.
