Lantern Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRN) has successfully completed its Phase 1a clinical trial for LP-184, achieving all primary endpoints with a favorable safety profile and early signs of antitumor activity. The open-label study, conducted under clinical trial identifier NCT05933265, enrolled 63 patients with advanced relapsed or refractory solid tumors, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
The trial results demonstrated disease control in 48% of evaluable patients at therapeutic dose levels, with particularly notable responses observed in DNA damage response (DDR)-deficient cancers. These included non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colon cancer, thymic carcinoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The absence of dose-limiting toxicities and predominantly mild adverse events positions LP-184 as a promising therapeutic candidate for advanced cancer treatment.
Lantern Pharma's proprietary RADR® artificial intelligence platform played a crucial role in the drug's development, leveraging over 200 billion oncology-focused data points and more than 200 machine learning algorithms. This AI-driven approach has significantly accelerated the drug discovery process, potentially reducing both development timelines and costs traditionally associated with oncology drug development.
The company plans to advance LP-184 into Phase 1b and Phase 2 clinical studies, specifically targeting triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), NSCLC, and other DDR-deficient cancers. This progression represents a critical milestone in the application of artificial intelligence to oncology drug development, potentially setting new standards for efficiency in cancer treatment research.
