ProLynx LLC today announced that the first patient was treated with its PLX038 in a Phase 1B clinical trial for small-cell lung cancer at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The trial combines its long-acting PEGylated SN-38, PLX038, with the Clovis Oncology PARP inhibitor, rucaparib. In preclinical studies, the PEG~SN-38 nanomolecule accumulates and is retained for long periods in tumors where it slowly releases the DNA-damaging agent SN-38.
