The drug is currently being evaluated as a single-agent treatment in the ongoing Phase 1/2 RAINFOL™-01 trial and will be further studied in a planned Phase 3 trial.
Rina-S is a folate receptor alpha-directed, TOPO1-inhibitor antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that is also being evaluated in other clinical trials, including the Phase 3 RAINFOL-02 trial in ovarian cancer.
