Olema Oncology announces publication of data on palazestrant

Olema Pharmaceuticals announced that Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, an American Association for Cancer Research journal, has selected as a featured article a data publication that describes the distinct properties of palazestrant. The paper, titled “Palazestrant, a Complete Estrogen Receptor Antagonist, Inhibits Wild-type and Mutant ER-positive Breast Cancer Models as Monotherapy and in Combination”, describes the scientific background underlying the design, discovery and optimization of palazestrant. “The research described in this paper reviews the deliberate design and processes used in discovering and optimizing palazestrant as a molecule purpose-built to address a crucial unmet need in the treatment of women’s cancers, and we are delighted that Molecular Cancer Therapeutics has featured our work,” said David C. Myles, Ph.D., Olema’s Chief Discovery and Non-Clinical Development Officer. “What’s even more exciting is to see how faithfully the pre-clinical research predicted the behavior of palazestrant now that it is in late-stage clinical development. We saw the potential then, as told in the paper, and we believe that every day brings us closer to having a real impact transforming the treatment paradigm for women with cancer.”
