The START Center for Cancer Care

Please join us as Kyri Papadopoulos, M.D., from The START Center for Cancer Care presents our Trials in Progress poster at #ASCO2024 this weekend in Chicago, IL! Dr. Papadopoulos will be presenting the design of our first-in-human (FIH) Phase 1/2 trial of FOG-001, a first-in-class inhibitor of β-catenin that directly blocks β-catenin’s interaction with the T-cell factor (TCF) family of transcription factors, the most downstream node in the Wnt pathway.   The ASCO annual conference gathers leaders from around the world to share the latest advancements in oncology and provides an opportunity to forge connections with others who are as passionate about transforming what is possible for cancer patients as we are.
