About Volasertib
Volasertib is a PLK-1 inhibitor with demonstrated activity in AML and other tumor types with significant unmet medical need, including solid tumors. Building on the performance of volasertib on PMP, an important and proprietary step during Notable’s targeted in-licensing strategy and decision making, Notable will utilize its PMP to predict volasertib-responsive patients prior to their treatment, with the goal of selectively enrolling and treating those predicted responders, increasing volasertib’s response rates and overall patient outcomes, and fast-tracking volasertib’s remaining clinical development. Volasertib was originally developed and manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim and previously granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the FDA. Notable in-licensed volasertib and has exclusive worldwide development and commercialization rights, except for certain rare pediatric cancers.
