Allarity Therapeutics announced significant progress in its Phase 2 stenoparib trial for advanced ovarian cancer, with two patients showing remarkable treatment benefits exceeding 14 months. The company maintains a strong cash position of $18.5 million as of September 30, 2024, sufficient to initiate the next FDA registrational trial.The trial involves a revised protocol implemented in Q1 2023, featuring a twice-daily dosing regimen of stenoparib (200mg morning, 400mg evening) for patients selected using Allarity's DRP companion diagnostic. The enrolled patients, most previously treated with PARP inhibitors, represent a heavily pretreated population with limited therapeutic options.The company has expanded its Allarity Medical Laboratory services to external biotech clients, establishing revenue-generating operations through Drug Response Predictor analysis and gene expression services. This strategic expansion reduces laboratory costs while advancing the position of Allarity's proprietary DRP platform within the industry.
