The combined company will work to advance a portfolio of oncology assets, with a primary focus on Ayala’s AL102, a once-daily, potent, selective, oral gamma-secretase inhibitor (GSI) and Biosight’s Aspacytarabine (BST-236).
The combined company will work to advance a portfolio of oncology assets, with a primary focus on Ayala’s AL102, a once-daily, potent, selective, oral gamma-secretase inhibitor (GSI) and Biosight’s Aspacytarabine (BST-236).
BST-236 (aspacytarabine) is a novel proprietary anti-metabolite. It is composed of cytarabine covalently bound to asparagine, acting as a pro-drug of cytarabine. Aspacytarabine enables high-dose therapy with lower systemic exposure to free cytarabine.
Aspacytarabine (BST-236), is a novel proprietary anti-metabolite. It is composed of cytarabine covalently bound to asparagine, acting as a pro-drug of cytarabine for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.
Phase 2b clinical trial of BST-236 (Aspacytarabine), showed a complete remission rate of 37%, of which 50% were minimal residual disease negative. Rapid complete hematological recovery was observed with a median time of 25 days for complete neutrophil recovery.
Combined Company Will Operate as Biosight Therapeutics to Advance Pipeline of Clinical-Stage Oncology Programs with Lead Program Aspacytarabine (BST-236) in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
The data reported to date provide compelling evidence that aspacytarabine, with a differentiated mechanism that enables high-dose chemotherapy with reduced toxicity, has the potential to transform standard of care for AML patients.
Aspacytarabine, Biosight’s lead product candidate, is a novel antimetabolite designed to provide the benefit of intensive chemotherapy while reducing the associated systemic toxicity.
These additional proceeds will be used to advance the clinical development of Biosight’s lead asset BST-236 (aspacytarabine), currently being investigated in a multi-center Phase 2b study in the U.S.
The presentation will present updated clinical data from the Company’s ongoing Phase 2b trial evaluating aspacytarabine (BST-236) as a single-agent first-line AML therapy for patients unfit for standard chemotherapy.
