Actuate Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACTU), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel therapies for difficult-to-treat cancers, today announced that elraglusib will be evaluated in the BEACON2 clinical trial, an international, multi-arm, multi-stage platform study designed to identify and advance promising treatment approaches for children with relapsed and refractory neuroblastoma.

Under the BEACON2 trial design, the combination of elraglusib with dinutuximab beta plus chemotherapy will initially be assessed in a dose confirmation cohort of up to 20 patients to evaluate safety and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of the regimen. Following successful completion of the dose confirmation stage, the regimen may advance into a randomized portion of the platform trial, where approximately 75 patients will be enrolled with a planned interim analysis.
