Stemline Announces Seven Presentations, Including Oral Presentation of Updated SL-401 Phase 2 BPDCN Data, at the 2016 ASH Meeting this Weekend

NEW YORK, Dec. 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:STML) announced today that SL-401, a novel targeted therapeutic directed to CD123, will be featured in seven presentations, including three oral presentations, at the 2016 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, being held December 3-6, 2016 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA.

Investigators will deliver an oral presentation on updated clinical data from the SL-401 Phase 2 trial in blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). Additional presentations include early clinical data from ongoing SL-401 clinical trials in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in remission with high relapse risk (selected for oral presentation), high-risk myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), and relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Preclinical data to be presented include an oral presentation of SL-401 activity against cancer stem cells (CSCs) of AML and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), as well as SL-401 activity against CSCs of myeloma and SL-401 efficacy in combination with SL-801, a novel XPO1 inhibitor, against myeloma and other malignancies.

Details on the presentations are listed below. Additionally, presentations will be available on the Stemline website, Scientific Presentations tab, after their delivery.

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. SL-401 is a targeted therapy directed to the interleukin-3 receptor (CD123) present on a wide range of malignancies. SL-401 is being advanced through a potentially pivotal Phase 2 trial in patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), an indication for which SL-401 has been granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) by the FDA. SL-401 has demonstrated high overall response rates (ORR), with multiple complete responses (CRs), in both first-line and relapsed/refractory patients, and treatment duration and frequency of bridge to transplant have been trending favorably. SL-401 is also being advanced through Phase 1/2 trials of patients with additional malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in remission with minimal residual disease (MRD), high-risk myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), and relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (in combination with pomalidomide). SL-801 is a novel oral small molecule reversible inhibitor of XPO1 that has demonstrated broad in vivo and in vitro preclinical activity in a wide array of solid and hematologic malignancies. A Phase 1 trial with SL-801 is open and enrolling patients with advanced solid tumors, and a Phase 1 trial in hematologic malignancies is planned. SL-701 is an immunotherapy designed to activate the immune system to attack tumors. A Phase 2 trial with SL-701 in adult patients with second-line glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is ongoing.
