Furthermore, the once-weekly monotherapy was observed to be well tolerated in patients, and buoyed by these results DAWN now plans to file a new drug application for the candidate in H1 2023.
Additionally, DAWN is also expanding the therapy’s development for patients that are newly diagnosed with pLGG.
