About Stemline Therapeutics

Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel oncology therapeutics. Stemline is developing three clinical stage product candidates, SL-401, SL-801, and SL-701. A pivotal trial with SL-401, a targeted therapy directed to the interleukin-3 receptor (IL-3R; CD123) present on a wide range of hematologic cancers, is currently enrolling patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). Data from the initial stage of this ongoing pivotal trial demonstrated high overall response rates, with multiple complete responses (CRs) and patients bridged to transplant. Patients continue to be followed for overall response, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and new patients continue to accrue into the study. Clinical studies with SL-401 are also open in additional malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in complete remission with minimal residual disease (MRD) and high-risk myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). A clinical study with SL-701, an immunotherapy designed to activate the immune system to attack tumors, is currently accruing adult patients with second-line glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). SL-801, a novel oral small molecule reversible inhibitor of XPO1, has an open IND and is being advanced into clinical trials across multiple cancer types.
