Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:DCPH), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on addressing key mechanisms of tumor drug resistance, today announced that it has initiated an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1b/2 study of rebastinib, the Company’s investigational small molecule switch control inhibitor of TIE2 kinase, in combination with carboplatin in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
“We are extremely pleased with the recent progress made on our rebastinib program, including today’s announcement that we have initiated a second Phase 1b/2 clinical study of rebastinib in combination with chemotherapy,” said Michael D.
