Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-free survival (PFS)
Date of study entry to the earliest date of progressive disease up to 30 months

Defined from the date of study entry to the earliest date of progressive disease while receiving complete therapy with FOLFIRINOX-based therapy or death due to any cause. PFS will be censored at the date of last follow-up for patients alive without documented progression. PFS curves will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared to historical controls treated with FOLFIRINOX alone using the one-sample log-rank test.

Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Tumor assessments were performed every 3 cycles (each cycle was 21 days), for up to 15.6 months.

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) on treatment based on RECIST 1.1 criteria. Per RECIST 1.1 for target lesions: CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. PR or better overall response assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and absence of new lesions.

Response rate
3-24 months

The percent of patients with response will be assessed at the protocol specified timepoints according to the Revised IWG-MRT and ELN Response Criteria for MF (2013)

Parts 1/2: Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03
3 months to 3 years

The standard assessments used to assign a score to any affected organ system as per the NCI CTCAE 4.03 will be conduced at each protocol-specified timepoint.

Part 3 Arm B
3 months to 3 years

To determine the 1-year survival rate of patients treated on the 9-ING-41 schedule chosen from the run-in stage of the study compared to the control arm

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of elraglusib tablets
Determined at the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21/28days) for each dose group tested up to 24 moths.

Dose escalation/de-escalation decisions and the MTD will be determined at the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21/28days).

Frequently asked questions about 9-ING-41

What is 9-ING-41 used for?

9-ING-41 is an investigational small molecule being studied in oncology for several cancer types, including pancreatic adenocarcinoma, salivary gland cancer, myelofibrosis, and a range of advanced or refractory solid tumors and blood cancers. It is not approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

What does 9-ING-41 target?

9-ING-41 targets GSK-3beta, a protein kinase. By inhibiting GSK-3beta, the drug is designed to interfere with signaling pathways that support tumor cell survival and growth. GSK-3beta inhibition is the central mechanism under investigation across the cancer types studied.

Who is developing 9-ING-41?

9-ING-41 is being developed by Actuate Therapeutics, Inc., which trades under the ticker ACTU. The company sponsors the clinical program evaluating the drug across pancreatic cancer, salivary gland cancer, myelofibrosis, and other advanced malignancies.

What phase is 9-ING-41 in?

9-ING-41 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational agent and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. The Phase 2 program spans pancreatic adenocarcinoma, salivary gland carcinoma, myelofibrosis, and a broad advanced cancer study.

What clinical trials is 9-ING-41 in?

9-ING-41 has been studied in several Phase 2 trials, including NCT03678883 in advanced cancers, NCT05077800 combining FOLFIRINOX, elraglusib, and losartan in pancreatic cancer, NCT05010629 with carboplatin in salivary gland carcinoma, and NCT04218071 in myelofibrosis, which is completed.

Is 9-ING-41 the same as elraglusib?

Yes. Elraglusib is another name for 9-ING-41, the GSK-3beta inhibitor developed by Actuate Therapeutics. The pancreatic cancer trial NCT05077800 refers to the agent as elraglusib, while other studies use the 9-ING-41 designation for the same investigational compound.
