Glactone Pharma will participate at the American Association of Cancer Research (ACCR) Annual meeting which is one of the largest and most important events in the world for researchers in the oncology area.

The company is actively profiling novel small-molecule inhibitors of STAT3 for immuno-oncology and for the treatment of prostate cancer, areas where a STAT3 inhibitor has great potential to address large unmet medical needs and help patients.

Jan Törnell, Chairman of the Board, and Martin Johansson, CEO, will represent the company at the event.

“We are proud to be presenting two posters this year in collaboration with our academic partners and we aim to further strengthen Glactone Pharma’s position as the leader in discovery and development of direct small-molecule STAT3 inhibitors,” said Martin Johansson.
