Leap Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company focused on developing targeted and immuno-oncology therapeutics, recently announced that their President and CEO, Douglas E. Onsi, will be participating in a fireside chat at the upcoming Piper Sandler 35th Annual Healthcare Conference in New York, NY.
The fireside chat, scheduled for Tuesday, November 28, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time, will provide an opportunity for Leap Therapeutics to share insights on their innovative approach to cancer treatment. As a company dedicated to developing therapeutics that target specific proteins involved in cancer progression, Leap Therapeutics has made significant progress in their clinical development programs.
One of their most advanced candidates is DKN-01, a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) protein. This candidate therapy is currently being evaluated in patients with esophagogastric, gynecologic, and colorectal cancers. Another promising candidate is FL-301, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting Claudin18.2, which is being developed for patients with gastric and pancreatic cancer.
Leap Therapeutics also has several preclinical antibody programs in the pipeline, including targets such as Claudin18.2/CD137 and GDF15. These programs hold promise for future advancements in cancer therapeutics.
For those unable to attend the conference in-person, Leap Therapeutics will be providing a live webcast of the fireside chat on the Investors page of their website. A replay of the event will also be available for a limited time.
