Onconova Therapeutics has presented new preclinical data on narazaciclib at the AACR Annual Meeting, showcasing its potential as a novel anti-cancer agent. The data demonstrates narazaciclib's ability to inhibit kinases not targeted by existing CDK 4/6 inhibitors, suggesting it may overcome their limitations. Notably, it showed enhanced tumor cell growth inhibition compared to palbociclib and abemaciclib, with a significant increase in apoptosis in breast cancer models. Additionally, narazaciclib displayed synergistic effects when combined with ibrutinib in treating mantle cell lymphoma, indicating its effectiveness against both sensitive and resistant cell lines. Onconova plans to advance narazaciclib into Phase 1/2a trials for endometrial cancer while seeking opportunities in other indications.
On April 6, 2023, Onconova Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ONTX) announced the unexpected passing of its Chief Medical Officer, Mark Gelder, M.D. Dr. Gelder had served as CMO since June 2021 and was a respected leader in clinical development and medical affairs, with over 35 years of experience. Michael Saunders, M.D., has been appointed as interim CMO. In light of this loss, Onconova's ongoing clinical trials are not expected to be materially affected. The company is currently searching for a permanent replacement. Onconova focuses on developing targeted anti-cancer agents, including its multi-kinase inhibitor narazaciclib and rigosertib, with trials ongoing in the U.S. and China. The company remains committed to advancing its clinical programs and honoring Dr. Gelder's legacy in cancer treatment.
Onconova Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ONTX) has announced a strategic collaboration with Pangea Biomed to utilize the ENLIGHT platform for identifying biomarkers of response to rigosertib, a cancer treatment candidate. This research aims to enhance precision medicine approaches by identifying additional indications for rigosertib based on its efficacy against PLK1, as seen in prior clinical studies. Rigosertib has shown anti-cancer activity in patients with KRAS-mutated non-small cell lung cancer and advanced squamous cell carcinoma. Onconova retains all intellectual property rights generated from this collaboration, aiming to improve patient outcomes in challenging cancer types.
Onconova Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ONTX) reported its financial results for 2022, revealing a net loss of $19 million, or $0.91 per share, compared to a net loss of $16.2 million in 2021.

Highlights include advancing narazaciclib's Phase 1 trial to a sixth dose escalation cohort and plans for a Phase 1/2a trial combining narazaciclib with letrozole, slated to enroll patients soon. Additionally, rigosertib's trials in RDEB-associated SCC show promising responses, and further trials are advancing in lung cancer and melanoma. A conference call will discuss these results in detail.
