Zarnestra
(Tipifarnib)Phase 2Small molecule
Tipifarnib is used to treat certain types of blood cancers, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in older adults who cannot tolerate standard chemotherapy. It works by blocking proteins that help cancer cells grow and divide.[1] Zarnestra is currently being investigated across 3 indications[3], with its most advanced program in Phase 2.[1]
Zarnestra is one of 89 small molecule programs targeting Neuroblastoma. It is currently in Phase 2.
