“The updated data for AG-881 ongoing phase I study presented today include approximately three months of additional data from time of last presentation. The data continue to show a favorable safety profile with no new DLTs since the last presentation. Tumor volume growth in the non-enhancing patients is very encouraging, compared to patients in the natural history study, 6.8% and 24.5%, respectively. We believe AG-881 is a promising early-stage molecule. We have not included any impact from AG-881 in our outlook through 2022, but data presented today at SNO are highly encouraging in gliomas, especially the non-enhancing patients.”
