About AL102
AL102 is an investigational small molecule gamma secretase inhibitor (GSI) that is designed to potently and selectively inhibit Notch 1, 2, 3 and 4, and is currently being evaluated in the Phase 2/3 RINGSIDE clinical studies in patients with progressing desmoid tumors. AL102 is designed to inhibit the expression of Notch gene targets by blocking the final cleavage step by the gamma secretase required for Notch activation. Ayala obtained an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize AL102 from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company in November 2017. AL102 was granted U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Fast Track Designation for the potential treatment of desmoid tumors.
About AL101
AL101 is a novel, injectable, potent and selective small molecule gamma secretase inhibitor. It is currently being studied in the Phase 2 ACCURACY trial for the treatment of patients with recurrent/metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma (R/M ACC).The FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation and Fast Track Designation for AL101 for the potential treatment of ACC.
