CLR 131 has received orphan drug designation from the US FDA and is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical study for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and a Phase 2 clinical study for a range of B-cell malignancies.
In addition to CLR 131, Cellectar is working on developing proprietary PDCs for targeted chemotherapeutic delivery, with several candidates in preclinical stages. The company actively collaborates with research and development partners to expand its PDC platform's applications.
Financially, Cellectar maintains a robust pipeline and continues to secure funding for its clinical and preclinical programs. The company’s innovative approach and partnerships highlight its significant role in the biopharmaceutical landscape.
