“Receiving Orphan Drug Designation is an important milestone for our latest drug candidate, LP-284, and further validates our data-driven approach to oncology drug discovery and development,” stated Panna Sharma, President & CEO of Lantern Pharma. “At SOHO 2023, we reported positive preclinical data demonstrating LP-284’s potent anti-tumor activity as a monotherapy as well as in combination with FDA-approved lymphoma targeting antibody Rituximab in High-Grade B-cell Lymphoma (HGBL). These findings hold significant importance given the elevated rate of relapse and the unfavorable prognosis observed in the majority of HGBL patients,” continued Sharma.
