RedHill Biopharma Reports Opaganib Plus Venetoclax Halves CLL Cell Counts in Preclinical Study

RedHill Biopharma Ltd. announced positive in vivo results from a study evaluating the combination of opaganib and venetoclax in the treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). The data indicate that adding opaganib, a sphingosine kinase 2 (SPHK2) inhibitor, to venetoclax reduced CLL cell counts by 50% compared to controls in a mouse model. The study also reported lowered counts of CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells, as well as reduced PD1 expression in CD8+ cells. These findings suggest a potential role for opaganib as an add-on therapy in venetoclax-resistant CLL. The results have already been announced by the company.
