SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Olema Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Olema” or “Olema Oncology,” Nasdaq: OLMA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of targeted therapies for women’s cancers, today announced two poster presentations on OP-1250, an investigational complete estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist (CERAN) and a selective ER degrader (SERD) in development for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer and other women’s cancers, at the upcoming San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) meeting being held December 7-10, 2021, at the Henry B.
