(NASDAQ: ONTX), (“Onconova”, the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel products for patients with cancer, today announced that one of the Company’s scientific collaborators, Gaël Roué, Ph.D., from the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute, Spain, made a podium presentation during the European MCL Network Annual Meeting in Dublin, Ireland on October 7, 2023 regarding promising ongoing preclinical studies of narazaciclib, in combination with ibrutinib and other targeted therapies used in the treatment for mantle cell lymphoma.
