What is the story about?
What's Happening?
Faeth Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced the presentation of positive Phase 2 data from the DICE trial at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology Congress. The trial, led by researchers from Imperial College London, demonstrated that the drug sapanisertib, part of Faeth's PIKTOR program, improves ovarian cancer treatment when combined with paclitaxel. The presentation will be delivered by Dr. Jonathan Krell from the Ovarian Cancer Action Research Centre.
Why It's Important?
The findings from Faeth Therapeutics' trial could significantly impact the treatment landscape for ovarian cancer, offering a new therapeutic option that targets tumor metabolism. This development is crucial as ovarian cancer remains a challenging disease with limited treatment options. The integration of targeted therapies with precision nutrition interventions could pave the way for more personalized and effective cancer treatments.
What's Next?
The presentation at ESMO 2025 may lead to increased interest and further research into the PIKTOR program and its applications in other cancer types. Faeth Therapeutics may pursue additional clinical trials to validate these findings and potentially seek regulatory approval for broader use of sapanisertib in combination therapies.
