Galera Therapeutics said Thursday that the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration has granted orphan drug designation to its second
product candidate, rucosopasem manganese, for the treatment of
pancreatic cancer.
Rucosopasem is a next-generation selective dismutase mimetic in
clinical development to augment the anti-cancer efficacy of
stereotactic body radiation therapy in patients with pancreatic
cancer and lung cancer.
The company is currently conducting a Phase 2b 220-patient trial
of rucosopasem in combination with SBRT in patients with locally
advanced pancreatic cancer.
