7th Annual Oncology Innovation Summit: Insights for ASCO & EHA summary
28 May, 2026Key pipeline updates and clinical progress
GPS, a WT1-targeting immunotherapy, is in a pivotal phase III REGAL trial for AML, with top-line data expected soon after the 80th event is reached, a key catalyst for the company.
SLS009, a selective CDK9 inhibitor, is in phase II for frontline AML, with top-line data on response rates and survival anticipated by year-end.
GPS has shown strong survival benefits in prior phase II studies, including a median overall survival of 68 months in CR1 and 21 months vs. 5.4 months in CR2, with favorable safety and immune response profiles.
The REGAL trial enrolled 126 AML patients in CR2, randomized to GPS or best available therapy, with extended GPS dosing based on physician feedback.
SLS009 demonstrated high response rates (up to 50%) and median survival of 8.9 months in relapsed/refractory AML, including TP53-mutated patients.
Clinical trial design and market insights
REGAL's primary endpoint is survival hazard ratio, powered at 90% for a HR of 0.636, with a projected 4+ month survival difference considered clinically significant.
The 80th event in REGAL is delayed beyond initial projections, suggesting longer survival and potentially positive GPS impact.
No approved maintenance therapies exist for AML CR2; GPS could become the standard, with potential expansion to CR1 and post-transplant settings.
AML incidence is about 85,000 globally (22,000–27,000 in the US annually), with ~4,000 CR2 patients per year eligible for GPS.
SLS009 is differentiated by high selectivity, favorable safety, and synergy with venetoclax, targeting urgent unmet needs in venetoclax-resistant AML.
Forward-looking statements and strategic outlook
Top-line REGAL data will include primary endpoint results and survival metrics, with further guidance on timing after the 80th event.
SLS009 phase II data may support accelerated approval or rapid progression to registrational studies, especially if CR rates exceed 30–40%.
Predictive biomarker work may enable precision medicine approaches and expansion into solid tumors.
GPS's favorable safety profile and immunogenicity position it for broad adoption in AML maintenance.
Ongoing studies and upcoming data releases are expected to drive significant shareholder value in the next year.
