We are so grateful to have a partner like Rafael that truly cares about helping people like our daughter, and reminds our entire community that we are not alone in this fight.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Woods founded Sara\u2019s Cure after Sara, her teenage daughter, was diagnosed with clear cell sarcoma. Traveling to the top hospitals across the country, Woods and her family discovered how difficult it is to treat this disease, and even once it is successfully treated, it often returns. Clear cell sarcoma is most often found in teens and young adults in their 20s.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p> \u201cWe are honored to partner with Lennie and Sara\u2019s Cure to fight this disease and launch one of the very few trials for clear cell sarcoma, as part of our continued mission to provide hope for patients with hard-to-treat cancers,\u201d said <strong>Sanjeev Luther<\/strong>, President and CEO of Rafael Pharmaceuticals. \u201cBoth Sara\u2019s Cure and SARC share our passion in being a voice for those battling this rare disease.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThis study is an outstanding example of the value of collaborative efforts among advocacy, biotech, and academia. Recognizing the need to better understand and treat clear cell sarcoma, SARC, as an academic research consortium will leverage the strengths of SARC to assist with this important trial,\u201d said <strong>Steven Young<\/strong>, President and CEO of Sarcoma Alliance for Research Collaboration.

Devimistat is designed to target the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, a process essential to tumor cell multiplication and survival, selectively in cancer cells. Devimistat substantially increases the sensitivity of cancer cells to a diverse range of chemotherapeutic agents. This synergy allows for potential combinations of devimistat with lower doses of these generally toxic drugs to be more effective with lower patient\u2019s side effects. Combination with devimistat represents a diverse range of opportunities to substantially improve patients\u2019 benefit in many different cancers. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given Rafael approval to initiate pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials in pancreatic cancer (AVENGER 500) and acute myeloid leukemia (ARMADA 2000), and has designated devimistat as an orphan drug for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, peripheral T-cell lymphoma, Burkitt\u2019s lymphoma and soft tissue sarcoma. The EMA has granted orphan drug designation to devimistat for pancreatic cancer and acute myeloid leukemia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About Rafael Pharmaceuticals, Inc.<\/b><br \/>\n        <br \/>Rafael Pharmaceuticals is a leader in the growing field of cancer metabolism. The company is developing a new, first-in-class category of metabolic oncology therapeutics that attack hard-to-treat cancers by targeting the metabolic processes the disease needs to survive, grow and proliferate. Rafael Pharmaceuticals\u2019 lead compound, CPI-613\u00ae (devimistat), is a highly selective, well-tolerated and effective anti-cancer agent that is being evaluated in ongoing and completed Phase 1, 2 and 3 clinical trials.
