Thursday, November 9, 2023

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Nov. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Notable Labs, Inc. (“Notable”) (Nasdaq: NTBL), a clinical stage therapeutic platform company developing predictive precision medicines for cancer patients, today announced the publication of data from an ex vivo study demonstrating the potential for its Predictive Precision Medicine Platform (PPMP) to identify more effective pre-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (pre-HSCT) regimens for the treatment of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) in the November 9th Issue of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Journal JCO Precision Oncology. Part of this data was recently presented at the European Hematology Association (EHA) Hybrid Congress held in Frankfurt, Germany on June 8 – 15, 2023. Details of that presentation can be found on the Company’s website at https://notablelabs.com/.

Key Points: 
  • JMML is a rare, aggressive pediatric malignancy for which curative treatment is restricted to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
  • Pre-HSCT therapies, i.e., therapies prior to transplantation, include moderately intensive chemotherapy (particularly fludarabine and cytarabine in combination (FLA)) and azacytidine (AZA) monotherapy.
  • Applying its proprietary PPMP technology to blood or bone marrow samples from JMML patients, Notable screened 130 drug combinations and discovered that 27 of these combinations (26 dual-, 1 triple-combination) were more effective ex vivo than the components of these combinations tested individually.
  • “This publication marks the culmination of a multi-year collaboration between UCSF and Notable Labs,” remarked Dr. Stieglitz.
