volasertib
Volasertib is a highly potent Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK-1) inhibitor. PLK-1 is a key regulator of the cell cycle, is over-expressed in many cancers, and has been associated with poor survival. Volasertib has been studied as a single agent in Phase I in children with leukemia and refractory solid tumors. Oncoheroes is currently planning the clinical evaluation of volasertib in RMS in collaboration with international pediatric oncology networks. Clinical studies are expected to be launched in 2022. Volasertib received Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) and Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2020. RPDD qualifies Oncoheroes to receive fast track review, and a priority review voucher (PRV) at the time of marketing approval of volasertib.
