Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. engages in the development of disruptive therapeutics for medical purposes. The company is headquartered in Waconia, Minnesota and currently employs 7 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2014-07-29. The firm is involved in enrolling patients in its randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. The firm's lead assets are ivospemin (SBP-101), FlynpoviTM (eflornithine (CPP-1X) and sulindac), and eflornithine (CPP-1X). Ivospemin is a polyamine analog designed to induce polyamine metabolic inhibition (PMI). Flynpovi is a combination of CPP-1X (eflornithine) and sulindac. The company has a dual mechanism of action whereby it suppresses the synthesis of new polyamines and increases the export and catabolism of polyamines from the diet and microbiome. Eflornithine is being developed as a single-agent tablet or high-dose powder sachet for several indications, including prevention of gastric cancer, treatment of neuroblastoma and recent onset Type 1 diabetes metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and STK-11 mutant NSCLC.
