Actuate Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ACTU) announced a planned Phase 1/2 clinical program to evaluate an oral tablet formulation of elraglusib in advanced cancers, with Phase 1 initiation planned in 2H 2026. The Phase 1 portion will determine MTD/MAD, DLTs, PK, and preliminary anti‑tumor activity to establish a recommended dose for Phase 2 expansion. Phase 2 will evaluate elraglusib in refractory metastatic melanoma and select solid tumor and hematologic indications. Prior IV data (Phase 1, n=67; 11 CPI‑refractory melanoma) showed disease control ≥12 weeks in 5 of 10 evaluable melanoma patients, median overall survival of 9.9 months, and one ongoing complete response exceeding 6 years.
Actuate Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ACTU) reported Phase 2 randomized data showing elraglusib plus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (GnP) met the primary endpoint in previously untreated metastatic pancreatic cancer. The combination reduced risk of death by 38% (HR=0.62) and improved median overall survival to 10.1 months vs 7.2 months for GnP alone (p=0.02). Twelve-month survival rose to 44.4% vs 22.3% and 24-month survival to 12.9% vs 2.6%. Safety was consistent with prior data; no new safety signals at the 9.3 mg/kg dose were identified. Biomarker analyses identified genomic and immune changes associated with benefit. Results were presented at ASCO GI on January 9, 2026.
Actuate Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ACTU) reported Phase 1 results from the Actuate-1902 study of elraglusib in 40 pediatric patients (ages 3–21) with relapsed/refractory cancers on Jan 6, 2026. Clinical responses or disease control were observed in 15 of 40 patients, including 10 of 19 treated with elraglusib plus cyclophosphamide/topotecan.
Notable outcomes include two Complete Metabolic Responses (CMRs) in relapsed/refractory Ewing sarcoma, one Complete Response (CR) in metastatic neuroblastoma, a 60% tumor reduction in a lung lesion, and additional partial responses and prolonged stable disease. The company received Rare Pediatric Designations from FDA for Ewing sarcoma and neuroblastoma and plans to advance development in 2026.
Actuate Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ACTU) announced that Phase 2 data for elraglusib in metastatic pancreatic cancer were selected for an oral and a poster presentation at the ASCO GI Cancers Symposium, Jan 8–10, 2026 in San Francisco.
The oral presentation (Abstract 653) reports results from the randomized Phase 2 1801 Part 3B study of elraglusib plus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (GnP) versus GnP in previously untreated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and is scheduled for Jan 9, 2026 at 4:15 PM PST (Rapid Oral Abstract Session B).
The poster (Abstract 761, Board L5) covers mutational analysis and potential biomarkers from the same study and is scheduled for Jan 9, 2026 during Poster Session B; first authors are Devalingam Mahalingam, MD, PhD (oral) and Andrey Ugolkov, MD, PhD (poster).
Actuate Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ACTU) published Phase II data (NCT05010629) reporting elraglusib combined with platinum chemotherapy ± sequential pembrolizumab in 32 patients with recurrent, metastatic salivary gland carcinoma.
Key results: median overall survival (OS) 18.6 months (95% CI 9.7–29.4), median progression-free survival (PFS) 6.4 months (95% CI 2.3–8.8), 40% alive at 2 years, and non-ACC median OS 27.8 months. Nuclear GSK-3β expression was markedly higher in responders (50% vs. 2%) and associated with longer PFS. Three partial responses occurred (all non-ACC); median duration of response was 6.9 months. The regimen was tolerable with 6% discontinuation due to toxicity and no treatment-related deaths.
Actuate Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ACTU) has updated its IND application with the FDA, including new clinical data from its Phase 2 trial of elraglusib in first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer treatment.
