Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:BPTH) shares closed slightly higher Wednesday after the company provided an update from its ongoing Phase 1/1b clinical trial of BP1001-A in solid tumor patients and reported continued patient progress from its ongoing Phase 2 triple combination study of prexigebersen in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
The Details: Bio-Path said the first patient treated with the higher dose in its Phase 1/1b study of BP1001-A has shown tumor regression and stable disease.
"These positive responses mark a significant milestone for Bio-Path as they suggest our DNAbilize platform technology has the potential to produce multiple drug candidates capable of target-specific protein inhibition for over-expressed, disease-causing gene products," said Peter H. Nielsen, CEO of Bio-Path.
What Else: Bio-Path reported its second-quarter financial results last week and beat analyst expectations with GAAP losses of $1.16 per share.
Research and development expenses decreased to $1.9 million primarily due to decreased manufacturing expenses and partially offset by an increase in expenses related to its clinical trial for BP1002 in lymphoma due to increased patient enrollment in 2024.
Bio-Path shares are moving lower in Wednesday's after-hours session.
