Qualigen Surges 80% As QN-302 Shows Potential Preclinical Mechanism Of Action Against Prostate, Pancreatic Cancers

Qualigen Therapeutics Inc QLGN shares are surging after highlighting posters at the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR).

  • QN-302 showed potent anti-proliferative activity in a prostate cancer cell panel and anti-tumor activity in an in vivo metastatic prostate cancer model.
  • It demonstrated bioavailability and toleration at therapeutic doses in a prostate cancer cell line, PC3, derived from castration-resistant prostate cancer.
  • The in vivo study, which included the commonly used drug abiraterone, showed that QN-302 had statistically significant anti-tumor activity in this model (p=0.0008) relative to the controls and was superior to abiraterone.
  • In another poster, QN-302 exhibited substantial anti-tumor activity in three patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)
  • In three of these models, significant changes in tumor growth were observed in those receiving QN-302, together with good tolerance and bioavailability at therapeutic doses.
