Aileron Shelves Development On Chemoprotection Agent

 

  • Aileron Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ALRN) announced that a review of initial data from its Phase 1b chemoprotection trial of ALRN-6924 in p53-mutated breast cancer showed severe neutropenia (Grade 4) and alopecia (hair loss).

  • The primary endpoint of the Phase 1b open-label trial was evaluating ALRN-6924 in patients with breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide, or "TAC" chemotherapy, was the duration and incidence of severe neutropenia in cycle 1.

  • The incidence of chemotherapy-induced alopecia (hair loss) was a secondary endpoint.

  • Based on these findings, Aileron has decided to terminate the Phase 1b breast cancer trial and further development of ALRN-6924.

  • Aileron also announced that it is exploring various strategic alternatives and has engaged Ladenburg Thalmann & Co Inc as a strategic advisor for this process.

  • Aileron will reduce its remaining workforce from 9 to 3 full-time employees in the coming weeks. The company plans to retain the remaining employees to assist in executing the strategic alternatives review process.
