July 17th Greetings Readers,
Breaking news drops on Actuate Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACTU) early Thursday.
With ACTU pushing green early, take a second to chew on this:
Actuate Therapeutics Advances Clinical Program in Ewing Sarcoma After Positive Phase 1 Trial Demonstrates Complete and Partial Responses in Difficult-to-Treat Pediatric Sarcomas
- Announces Completion of Phase 1 Study of Elraglusib in Pediatric Patients
- Prolonged and Durable Complete Responses (CRs) Observed in Two of Ten Refractory Ewing Sarcoma Patients
- Two Additional Patients Had Durable Stable Disease in Notoriously Difficult-to-Treat Cancer
- Confirmed Partial Response (PR) in a patient with a desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor (DSRCT)
- Company Initiating Planning of Phase 2 Trial of Elraglusib in Children, Adolescents, and Adults with Refractory/Resistant Ewing Sarcoma
CHICAGO and FORT WORTH, Texas, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Actuate Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACTU) (“Actuate” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for the treatment of high-impact, difficult-to-treat cancers through the inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β), today announced the end of the Phase 1 portion of its clinical study evaluating elraglusib monotherapy or in combination with irinotecan, irinotecan plus temozolomide, or with cyclophosphamide plus topotecan in pediatric patients with refractory malignancies (Actuate-1902). Following encouraging signals of activity, particularly in treatment-refractory Ewing Sarcoma (EWS), a small round cell sarcoma that forms in soft tissue and bone, the Company will seek to advance the clinical development program towards a Phase 2 study in children, adolescents, and adults with relapsed/refractory EWS.
“Refractory and resistant EWS is one of the most aggressive and underserved cancers affecting children and young adults with very low survival rates,” said Dr. Andrew Mazar, Actuate’s Scientific Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer. “To observe complete responses in this setting is highly unexpected, and these exceptional early results position elraglusib as a potential first-in-class therapy option in an indication where no approved targeted therapies currently exist.”
...
“We are highly encouraged by the responses observed in refractory and resistant EWS, a disease where treatment options are extremely limited beyond frontline chemotherapy,” said Daniel Schmitt, President & Chief Executive Officer of Actuate. “With these promising clinical signals in hand, we are advancing our development plans focused on EWS by pursuing a Phase 2 trial and plan to meet with regulators to discuss potential registration path in this indication.”

*Actuate Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACTU)*
Actuate is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for the treatment of high-impact, difficult-to-treat cancers.
Actuate’s lead investigational drug, elraglusib (a novel GSK-3β inhibitor), targets molecular pathways in cancer that are involved in promoting tumor growth and resistance to conventional cancer drugs such as chemotherapy through the inhibition of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB) and DNA Damage Response (DDR).
Elraglusib may also mediate anti-tumor immunity through the regulation of multiple immune checkpoints and immune cell function.
Key Company Highlights
(1.) Advancing a potentially class-leading GSK-3β inhibitor, elraglusib with a novel, multimodal MOA, in multiple advanced cancer Phase 2 trials.
(2.) Clinical responses (CRs/PRs) and Disease Control observed across cancer histologies Extended survival and increased responses are observed in mPDAC and relapsed/refractory Ewing sarcoma.
Preliminary evidence of clinical benefit has also been observed in patients with metastatic melanoma and relapsed/refractory colorectal and lung cancer
(3.) Oral version of elraglusib successfully evaluated in Healthy Volunteer Phase 1.
- Phase 1 dose escalation study planned in advanced cancer patients
(4.) Broad composition of matter IP protection and development incentives.
- Orphan Drug Designations for pancreatic and other cancer types; Fast Track Designation for pancreatic cancer
