Stemline Therapeutics to Present Live Webcast on Monday, May 18, at UBS Global Healthcare Conference; Topics Include Novel Therapeutics for Wide Range of Blood Cancers and Systemic Mastocytosis
Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:STML), announced today that Ivan Bergstein, M.D., Stemline's CEO, will present at the UBS Global Healthcare Conference on Monday, May 18, 2015 at 2:30 PM ET. The conference will be held at the Sheraton New York Times Square in New York, NY. A live webcast of the presentation can be viewed on the company's website at www.stemline.com. Stemline Therapeutics, Inc., is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics that target cancer stem cells (CSCs) and tumor bulk. Stemline is developing two clinical stage product candidates, SL-401 and SL-701, and a pipeline of pre-clinical candidates that includes SL-801. SL-401 is a targeted therapy directed to the interleukin-3 receptor (IL-3R) present on CSCs and tumor bulk of a wide range of hematologic cancers. Three multicenter clinical trials with SL-401 are currently open in seven indications. SL-401 is currently completing the lead-in stage of the pivotal trial in blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). Clinical studies with SL-401 are also open in additional hematologic indications including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR) with minimal residual disease (MRD), relapsed/refractory AML, and four types of advanced high-risk myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), including systemic mastocytosis, advanced symptomatic hypereosinophilic disorder, myelofibrosis, and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. SL-701, an immunotherapy designed to activate the immune system to attack tumors, is being developed in adult patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in first recurrence. SL-801, a novel oral small molecule reversible inhibitor of XPO1, is currently being advanced toward investigational new drug (IND) filing for clinical development in solid and hematologic cancers.
