The FDA has granted an Orphan Drug Designation for DSP-0390, an investigational emopamil-binding protein (EBP) inhibitor for the treatment of brain cancer, developed by Sumitomo Pharma Oncology, Inc.
DSP-0390 has shown cytotoxic activity against GBM, colorectal cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer in vitro. DSP-0390 is currently being evaluated in a Phase I, interventional clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DSP-0390 in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma.
