- Results from an open-label Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Tyme Technologies' (NASDAQ:TYME) SM-88 in patients with end-stage pancreatic cancer showed a treatment benefit. The data are being presented today at the ASCO GI Cancers Symposium in San Francisco.
- Specifically, 68% (n=19/28) of evaluable patients with actively progressing end-stage pancreatic cancer who received SM-88 alone remain alive after median follow-up of 4.3 months.
- 79% (n=11/14) of patients receiving SM-88 in a third-line setting remain alive after median follow-up of 4.7 months, more than twice as long as historical results.
- The company plans pursue regulatory approval for third-line use.
- SM-88 is a combination therapy that uses a proprietary dysfunctional tyrosine derivative to interrupt the metabolic processes of cancer cells, breaking down their defenses and making them vulnerable to oxidative stress and death.
- Management will host a conference call this morning at 9:00 am ET to discuss the data.
- Shares, currently halted, will resume trading at 8:30 am ET.
