Asunercept (INN; development codes APG101 and CAN008) [1] is a soluble CD95-Fc fusion protein which is in clinical development for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). [2] Asunercept has been granted orphan drug status for the treatment of GBM and MDS in the EU and the US.
In 2014, Orphan Drug Status was granted by the FDA for glioblastoma multiforme. [6] It is in phase II/III clinical trials for glioblastoma, in phase II clinical trials for non-small cell lung cancer, and in phase I clinical trials for the treatment of other solid tumors. [7] Phase I results were presented at ASCO in 2016. [7]
