GlobeNewswireJanuary 04, 2023
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oncternal Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ONCT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel oncology therapies, today announced the appointment of Jill DeSimone to its board of directors.
"We are thrilled to have Jill join the Oncternal board of directors. Jill's accomplishments building a multi-billion dollar oncology business in the U.S. are a great fit for supporting Oncternal's transition into a late-stage oncology company," said James Breitmeyer, M.D., Ph.D., Oncternal's President and CEO. "As we embark into our first global Phase 3 registrational study Zilo-301, we will greatly benefit from her guidance to help us build a compelling patient-centric value proposition for Zilovertamab."
Ms. DeSimone was most recently President of U.S. Oncology at Merck & Co., Inc., where she built the company's oncology division, growing it to over a $9 billion business in just eight years. She led three key product launches and more than 45 indication launches, including Keytruda(R). Prior to joining Merck, she served as senior vice president of Global Women's Health at Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd from 2012 to 2014. Prior to her time at Teva, Ms. DeSimone served in several roles of increasing responsibility at Bristol Myers Squibb from 1980 to 2012, including senior vice president of U.S. Oncology & Commercial from 2010 to 2012 and senior vice president of U.S. Virology/HIV from 2006 to 2010. Ms. DeSimone currently serves as a member of the board of directors of Praxis Precision Medicines, Inc. and Affini-T Therapeutics Inc. She also serves as a board member for the Florida Cancer Specialists Foundation, a nonprofit organization that delivers non-medical aid for individuals undergoing cancer treatment. Ms. DeSimone received a B.S. in pharmacy from Northeastern University and completed a fellowship with the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
"I am honored to join the board at Oncternal, as it continues to advance its first-in-class late-stage oncology pipeline," said Ms. DeSimone. "I believe Zilovertamab and ROR1 can play a key role in addressing significant unmet needs in hematological malignancies and solid tumors, and I look forward to working with the board at Oncternal to continue to bring important therapeutic innovations to patients."

-- Interim Phase 1/2 results for zilovertamab plus ibrutinib in MCL presented at ASCO 2022, with ORR of 85% compare favorably to historical single agent ibrutinib data and support moving into Phase 3 Study ZILO-301
-- Interim data from p53-mutated CLL patients in the same Phase 1/2 study showed encouraging activity in sub-group analyses, with landmark PFS of 100% at 36 months, compares favorably to historical PFS for ibrutinib monotherapy
-- Established a clinical trial and supply agreement with Pharmacyclics for the donation of ibrutinib for our global registrational Phase 3 study, ZILO-301, of zilovertamab in patients with MCL, which is on track to be initiated in September 2022
-- Advanced development of ONCT-808, the lead candidate for our autologous CAR-T program targeting ROR1-expressing malignancies, with IND submission on track for later this month
-- Executing IND enabling studies for ONCT-534, the lead candidate in our novel dual-action androgen receptor inhibitor (DAARI) program
-- Extended cash runway guidance to fund operations into the first half of 2024 with $78.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt as of June 30, 2022
ONCT pipeline is showing more promising data than VelsoBio & NBE Therapeutics here is the key & the valuation of where ONCT should be. Abbive wants this pipeline & will make a take over offer sooner than later. The team at ONCT is top notch sesoned vets from some of the top biotech companies in the world. Their Pedigree is next level.
If you take a formula of three buyouts in the last year and change 2.8 Billion Merck on Velsobio & Boehringer Buyout of NBE-Therapeutics for 1.5 Billion & Trillium 2.2 Billion bought by Pfizer Onct is worth north of Billion. Their pipeline is more mature and their top line data is superior. Onct market cap of 67 Million has 20 to 30x ROI potential from these levels.

HUGE Improvement Partnered with AbbV better approach then trillium which was bought out by Pfizer for 2.2 Billion for Hematological malignancies cancers. Next we had the 2 ROR1 buyouts last year and half. This stock is about to quantum leap. Under the radar hidden gem. Billion dollar plus market cap in the making. Onct is helping Imbruvica (PCYC) which as bought out by ABBV 21 Billion and has 9 Billion plus in sales. Zilovertamab in combo with Imbruvica is 50% more affective then Imbruvica alone with less side effects. Plus 9 indications in the ONCT pipeline including Prostate & Breast cancer Her2 (39 Billion market for Her2 Breast cancer in 2025 Onct market cap at 65 Million is extremely undervalued. The chart is turning around. Ror1 first in class in the making.
