Hemispherian Initiates Clinical Trial for GLIX1 in Glioblastoma Patients
Hemispherian AS, a clinical-stage oncology company, has announced the initiation of a Phase 1/2a clinical trial for its novel small molecule therapeutic, GLIX1, targeting glioblastoma and other high-grade gliomas. The trial, conducted in collaboration with BioLineRx Ltd., aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GLIX1, which is designed to activate TET2 and induce tumor-selective DNA damage. The study will be carried out at NYU Langone Health, Northwestern University, and Moffitt Cancer Center, with the first site led by Dr. Alexandra Miller. GLIX1 has shown promising preclinical results, including potent anti-tumor activity and robust blood-brain barrier penetration.
