Welcome to our dedicated page for Ayala Pharm news (Ticker: ADXS), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Ayala Pharm stock.
Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQX: ADXS) is a publicly traded, clinical-stage oncology company that focuses on the development and commercialization of small molecule therapeutics. The company primarily targets rare tumors and aggressive cancers through its innovative treatments. Ayala's leading candidate, AL102, is an investigational small molecule gamma secretase inhibitor currently in the Phase 3 RINGSIDE study for the treatment of desmoid tumors. The promising data from Phase 2 shows significant anti-tumor activity and high overall response rates.
Ayala's strategic vision was further enhanced by its merger with Biosight Ltd., which brought aspacytarabine (BST-236), a novel proprietary anti-metabolite for first-line treatment in unfit acute myeloid leukemia (AML), into its portfolio. AL102 has received FDA Fast Track and Orphan Drug Designations for the treatment of desmoid tumors, highlighting its potential impact in oncology.
Recently, Ayala entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement with Immunome, Inc. to sell AL102 and related drug candidate AL101. This agreement, valued at over $50 million, will allow Immunome to advance AL102 through clinical trials and towards potential commercialization. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of Q3 2024, pending regulatory approvals.
Ayala is committed to advancing its remaining pipeline, which includes aspacytarabine (BST-236) for AML. Despite the sale of its key assets, Ayala continues to focus on developing impactful treatments within oncology, leveraging its expertise and the clinical data it has gathered.
