- Near doubling of 1-year overall survival (OS), increased median OS of 4 months (12.5 vs 8.5 months), and 43% reduction in risk of death in patients treated with at least one cycle (4 weeks) of elraglusib plus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (GnP) vs GnP alone

- Patients with liver metastases experienced a 2.5x improvement in 1-year OS with a 38% reduction in risk of death when treated with elraglusib plus GnP

CHICAGO and FORT WORTH, Texas, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Actuate Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACTU) ("Actuate" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for the treatment of high-impact, difficult-to-treat cancers through the inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β), today highlighted results from a pre-specified subgroup analysis of its Phase 2 (Actuate-1801 Part 3B) trial of elraglusib in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (GnP) in first-line metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (mPDAC).

Patients treated for at least one complete cycle (4 weeks) of therapy achieved a median overall survival (mOS) of 12.5 months in the elragusib/GnP arm, compared to 8.5 months in the control arm. The analysis showed a 43% reduction in the risk of death relative to control, highlighting the significant potential impact of early disease control by elraglusib. Improved outcomes were reported in the combination versus control arms, respectively: disease control rate (DCR): 53.4% vs 44.8%, overall response rate (ORR): 37.9% vs 29.3%, and median progression-free survival (PFS): 6.9 vs 5.6 months.
