Wayshine Biopharm has received IND approval from FDA about its innovative experimental medicine WSD0922, a First-in-Class CNS penetrable EGFR/EGFRvIII inhibitor for the treatment of Glioblastoma, Anaplastic Astrocytoma and cancers with CNS metastasis patients. The WSD0922 program is under the sponsorship of Wayshine and the clinical trial, entitled “A Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Anti-tumor Activity of WSD0922-FU” will be performed at Minnesota, Arizona and Florida, the three campuses of Mayo Clinic.
