Maro Ohanian, D.O., Department of Leukemia, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, will present interim results from the Company’s Phase 2 study of prexigebersen (BP1001) in combination with decitabine and venetoclax for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The data show prexigebersen continues to be well-tolerated and has now demonstrated compelling efficacy results in two reporting cohorts including evaluable newly diagnosed AML patients and evaluable refractory/relapsed AML patients, both of which exceeded outcomes with frontline therapy.

"We are honored that our abstract was selected by the ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Scientific Program Committee and Leadership for a prestigious oral presentation as part of a Rapid Oral Abstract Session. ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) is the ideal setting to present these encouraging data, as it is the world’s largest clinical cancer research meeting with more than 30,000 oncology professionals in attendance," said Peter Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer of Bio-Path. "It is important to showcase these important data and expand awareness of prexigebersen within the field as it may encourage greater participation in this and our other prexigebersen studies."
