ROCKVILLE, Md. and SUZHOU, China, April 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascentage Pharma (NASDAQ: AAPG; HKEX: 6855), a global biopharmaceutical company engaged in discovering, developing, and commercializing therapies to address global unmet medical needs primarily for hematological malignancies, today announced that it has presented results from five preclinical studies during poster presentations at the 2025 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, taking place April 25-30, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois, USA. These poster presentations feature five of the company’s drug candidates: novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) olverembatinib (HQP1351), Bcl-2 inhibitor lisaftoclax (APG-2575), FAK/ALK/ROS1 TKI APG-2449, embryonic ectoderm development (EED) inhibitor APG-5918, and IAP antagonist AS03157. Dr. Yifan Zhai, Chief Medical Officer of Ascentage Pharma, said, “The encouraging data from our investigational assets, presented at this year’s AACR Annual Meeting, are another testament to our strong and innovative pipeline. In particular, the combination of olverembatinib and lisaftoclax, two of our key drug candidates, has demonstrated strong synergistic effects in preclinical models of acute myeloid leukemia and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. These preclinical studies are expected to complement and further catalyze our clinical development. Moving forward, we will actively advance the clinical development of these programs in order to bring more treatment options to patients in need.” Detailed data presented at this year’s AACR Annual Meeting are as follows: Olverembatinib (HQP1351) in combination with lisaftoclax (APG-2575) overcomes venetoclax resistance in preclinical models of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) Abstract#: 5652 Session: Novel Antitumor Agents 3 Introduction: Combining Bcl-2 inhibitor venetoclax with hypomethylating agents is the standard of care for patients with AML who are older or ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. However, resistance to venetoclax is a major clinical challenge, necessitating alternative therapeutic options. Olverembatinib, a multikinase inhibitor, targets kinases associated with leukemogenesis and venetoclax resistance in AML, including FLT3, cKIT, PDGFR, Src family kinases, PI3K, and FGFR. Lisaftoclax is an investigational, novel, selective Bcl-2 inhibitor currently being tested clinically for severa...
