Nesuparip is a novel drug candidate with a dual mechanism that simultaneously inhibits PARP and Tankyrase.


It has currently received orphan drug designation for pancreatic cancer from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is undergoing Phase 1b/2 clinical trials targeting first-line treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer. Since last year, in collaboration with Severance Hospital, investigator-initiated Phase 2 clinical trials combining Nesuparip with Keytruda for endometrial cancer are also underway.


At this conference, Onconic Therapeutics plans to demonstrate the potential of Nesuparip as an innovative therapy by presenting research results in new indications beyond those of existing PARP inhibitors.



Hyunju Cha, Executive Director of Onconic Therapeutics, stated, "The preclinical study selected for poster presentation confirms the potential of a new therapeutic indication that existing PARP inhibitors have not yet entered, demonstrating the excellent efficacy of Nesuparip."
