We also plan to initiate a Phase 1b study to evaluate OP-1250 in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor in the second half of 2021. We are in a strong financial position to execute on our strategy and are committed to working toward advancing the standard of care for people living with breast cancer.” Recent Corporate Highlights Presented nonclinical data on OP-1250 in a late-breaking poster session at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, held virtually from April 10-15, 2021.
