In other recent news, Actuate Therapeutics has announced that its drug elraglusib, in combination with chemotherapy, has met primary endpoints in a Phase 2 trial for treating metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in overall survival for patients treated with this combination compared to those receiving chemotherapy alone. Additionally, the company identified seven biomarkers that may help predict which patients could benefit from elraglusib, with elevated levels of CXCL2 being associated with improved survival outcomes. These findings were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting. Craig-Hallum has initiated coverage on Actuate Therapeutics with a Buy rating and a price target of $21.00, citing optimism about elraglusib’s potential to improve survival outcomes in first-line metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The analysts expect the interim data to continue showing a meaningful difference in median overall survival when compared to standard care. Actuate plans to engage with U.S. and EU regulators later this year to discuss advancing the drug toward a New Drug Application. The company’s financial position, with $8.6 million in cash at the end of the previous year, could be bolstered by these positive developments.
