event for gynecologic oncologists Boston (March 17, 2025)-Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. ("Allarity” or the "Company”) (NASDAQ: ALLR), a Phase 2 clinical-stage pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing stenoparib-a differentiated dual PARP/Wnt pathway inhibitor- announced the presentation of new clinical data from its ongoing Phase 2 trial with stenoparib monotherapy in advanced Ovarian Cancer at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) 2025 Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer, held March 14-17 in Seattle, Washington. SGO is the world's premier organization for professionals working to lessen the impact of gynecologic cancers, and the Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer is the premier educational and scientific event for gynecologic oncologists and others dedicated to advancing gynecologic cancer care.
The poster presentation, titled "A Phase II Trial of Stenoparib (2X-121): A Novel Dual Tankyrase and PARP Inhibitor in Advanced, Recurrent Ovarian Cancer," will be presented by Dr. Fernanda B. Musa, MD, MS, Director of Clinical Trials in Gynecologic Oncology, Providence-Swedish Cancer Institute.
The data also revealed significant clinical benefit in patients who typically do not get benefit from first-generation PARP inhibitors-those without mutations in the DNA repair gene, BRCA. One of the two patients still on therapy, now more than 17 months, did not have a BRCA mutation or other deficit in homologous DNA repair. Benefit in these BRCA wild-type patients may reflect the unique, dual therapeutic action of stenoparib in inhibiting not only PARP but also the Wnt pathway-a pathway activated in ovarian, colon, and other advanced cancers.
Key Findings: Thomas Jensen, Chief Executive Officer of Allarity Therapeutics, stated, "These results are foundational for us as they show stenoparib monotherapy can provide durable clinical benefit to very heavily pre-treated patients, both platinum-resistant and refractory. These data also show clinical benefit in patients both with and without BRCA mutations, or defects in homologous DNA damage repair, and may reflect the unique dual action of stenoparib on both PARP and Tankyrase targets. The data also continue to show that stenoparib is well-tolerated and does not show the bone marrow toxicity of earlier PARP inhibitors.
All in all, the results of this exploratory phase 2 study have helped us to craft a new protocol designed with Dr. Fernanda Musa, Dr. Kathleen Moore, and other ovarian cancer thought leaders that will deepen and enrich our understanding of stenoparib's durable clinical benefit-even in heavily pre-treated patients, enhance our understanding of its unique mechanism of action and accelerate the advance of stenoparib toward regulatory approval.
” Given the relatively heterogeneous patient population in this study, there are no direct comparisons to earlier studies. Importantly, this exploratory trial allowed enrollment of patients with very advanced disease, including massive ascites, following multiple prior lines of therapy. Some of these patients progressed very quickly in the study.
The recently announced phase 2 protocol trial was expressly designed to narrow in on patients with platinum-resistant disease who have progressed through only a single, additional line of chemotherapy after the emergence of platinum resistance and who are without active evidence of ascites. The poster presentation will be available on March 17 at 7:00 a.m.
CT on Allarity's website under the Scientific Publications section. About Stenoparib Stenoparib is an orally available, small-molecule dual-targeted inhibitor of PARP1/2 and tankyrase 1/2. At present, tankyrases are attracting significant attention as emerging therapeutic targets for cancer, principally due to their role in regulating the Wnt signaling pathway.
Aberrant Wnt/β-catenin signaling has been implicated in the development and progression of numerous cancers. By inhibiting PARP and blocking Wnt pathway activation, stenoparib's unique therapeutic action shows potential as a promising therapeutic for many cancer types, including ovarian cancer. Allarity has secured exclusive global rights for the development and commercialization of stenoparib, which was originally developed by Eisai Co.
Ltd. and was formerly known under the names E7449 and 2X-121. About Allarity Therapeutics Allarity Therapeutics, Inc.
