GenSpera CEO to Present at New York Society of Security Analysts’ Life Sciences Conference
GenSpera, Inc. (OTCQB:GNSZ) announced that CEO, Craig Dionne, PhD, will present at the New York Society of Security Analysts’ Life Sciences Conference on Oct 30th, at 10:45 am, in New York, NY (http://www.nyssa.org/programs/conferencesseminars/ctl/viewdetail/mid/754/itemid/867/d/20131030.aspx). Dr. Dionne will give an overview of the company and its lead drug candidate, G-202. The company reported data from the G-202 Phase I trial in solid-tumor cancers last week.
About GenSpera
GenSpera’s technology platform combines a powerful, plant-derived cytotoxin (thapsigargin) with a prodrug delivery system that provides for the targeted release of drug candidates within a tumor. Unlike typical chemotherapeutic agents, thapsigargin results in cell death irrespective of the rate of cell division, which may provide an effective approach to kill both fast- and slow-growing cancers. GenSpera’s lead drug candidate, G-202, is activated by the enzyme PSMA which is found at high levels in liver and prostate cancer and in the vasculature of almost all other solid tumors and is therefore expected to have efficacy in a wide variety of tumor types.
Data from the G-202 Phase Ib program in solid tumor patients demonstrated that G-202 is well-tolerated with prolonged disease stabilization observed in several hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) patients whose disease had previously worsened on standard therapy. A Phase II clinical trial in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma is currently underway.
