Edison research on paxalisib (GDC-0084) joining GBM AGILE
We’re pleased to share the latest Edison research report on our lead candidate paxalisib (GDC-0084) joining GBM AGILE, as announced to the ASX in December.

“AGILE has several advantages: a faster start, an existing design and an expanding infrastructure plus involvement of key opinion leaders, a big benefit in the event of positive data, regulatory review and launch,” the report says.
