About Brain Cancer Awareness Month:
This KOL webinar will be hosted during Brain Tumor Awareness Month, which is also known as "Gray May". This month is meant to bring support and awareness to the estimated 700,000 people in the US living with primary brain tumors and to their families and caregivers. Patients with primary brain tumors have a low 5-year survival rate of only 35.6% and have limited treatment options due to the lack of effective drugs that can cross the blood brain barrier. For more information, please visit the Brain Tumor Awareness month website.

GBM is one of the most common types of primary brain tumors with an estimated 13,000 people in the US diagnosed each year. Patients with GBM have a very poor prognosis with a median overall survival of 24 months. The low survival rate of patients with GBM is in part due to the lack of effective new therapies that can cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) and there is an urgent and unmet clinical need for new therapies. In preclinical studies, Lantern’s drug candidate, LP-184, has shown potency against unmethylated and methylated types of GBM as well as the ability to cross the BBB.
