The FDA granted fast track designation to GLR2007 for treatment of glioblastoma, according to the agent’s manufacturer.
GLR2007 (Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals) is a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor in development for treatment of advanced solid tumors.
Glioblastoma is the most common brain and central nervous system malignancy, accounting for approximately 45% of primary tumors. More than 80% of patients die within 2 years of diagnosis, and nearly 95% die within 5 years.
“The poor prognosis and low survival rates for glioblastomas demonstrate an unmet need for new treatment options,” Julius Huang, PhD, DABT, director of global clinical sciences with Gan & Lee, said in a company-issued press release.
