Ivan Bergstein, M.D., Stemline’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We believe the selection by the EHA (Free EHA Whitepaper) of the SL-401 clinical results in BPDCN for oral presentation, to be delivered this weekend, highlights SL-401’s significant clinical activity in BPDCN, a devastating malignancy of high unmet medical need. Awareness of BPDCN is increasing across both the U.S. and Europe, driven in part by the emergence of this targeted agent, its high level of activity, and a greater understanding of the BPDCN diagnostic criteria."

Dr. Bergstein concluded, "Over the remainder of the year, we plan to continue to enroll first-line and relapsed/refractory patients in this ongoing trial and advance our ongoing interactions with the regulatory authorities. Our goal is to bring this promising agent to market as soon as possible."
