FDA grants Orphan Drug Designation to onvansertib for treating rare leukemia CMML

Cardiff Oncology announced that the FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation to onvansertib for treating chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), a rare and aggressive blood cancer with limited treatment options. This designation supports the development of onvansertib, a PLK1 inhibitor showing promising early clinical results in CMML patients, including improved blood counts and disease stabilization. The status provides benefits like tax credits and market exclusivity, aiding further clinical trials. Cardiff continues to explore onvansertib in other cancers, aiming to address unmet medical needs.
