Actuate Therapeutics Inc

Actuate Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on developing therapies for the treatment of high impact, difficult to treat cancers through the inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3). The Company is developing elraglusib, a small molecule that is designed to enter cancer cells and block the function of the enzyme GSK-3b, a master regulator of complex biological signaling cascades, including those mediated by oncogenes, which lead to tumor cell survival, growth, migration, and invasion. Its candidate products are Elraglusib Injection and Elraglusib Oral Tablet. Elraglusib is the lead drug in the portfolio and is being evaluated in a randomized Phase II trial in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). Elraglusib is designed to act as a mediator of antitumor immunity through the inhibition of NF-kB and regulates multiple immune checkpoints and immune cell function.
