Aravive, Inc. Announces Termination of Gail McIntrye as Chief Executive Officer

Aravive, Inc. is a clinical-stage oncology company. The Company is focused on developing treatments designed to halt the progression of life-threatening diseases, including cancer and fibrosis. The Company's lead product candidate, Batiraxcept, is an ultra-high affinity decoy protein that binds to GAS6, the sole ligand that activates AXL, thereby inhibiting metastasis and tumor growth, and restoring sensitivity to anti-cancer agents. Batiraxcept has been granted Fast Track Designation by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for both clear cell renal cell carcinoma and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and Orphan Drug Designation by the European Commission in platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer. Batiraxcept is in an active registrational Phase III trial in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (NCT04729608), a Phase Ib/II trial in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (NCT04300140), and a Phase Ib/II trial in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (NCT04983407).
