flag PentixaTher, a new AML treatment, advanced to a higher dose in trials due to strong safety results.

flag Pentixapharm reports that its experimental radiolabeled therapy PentixaTher has moved to the fourth of five planned dose levels in a Phase 1/2 trial for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), following positive safety results at the 7.5 GBq dose. flag The independent Data Safety Monitoring Board approved escalation to 10 GBq, indicating a manageable safety profile. flag The trial, led by University Hospital of Nantes and funded by the French Ministry of Health, is evaluating the treatment’s safety, tolerability, and early effectiveness in AML patients, a disease with limited options and a five-year survival rate of about 32% to 37%. flag PentixaTher targets CXCR4, a receptor overexpressed in AML cells, using 177-lutetium to deliver radiation directly to cancer cells. flag If safety continues, the trial will proceed to the final dose level of 12.5 GBq. flag Researchers and company leaders view the progress as a potential step forward in expanding treatment options for advanced AML.
