DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chimerix (NASDAQ:CMRX), a biopharmaceutical company whose mission it is to develop medicines that meaningfully improve and extend the lives of patients facing deadly diseases, today announced the publication of data in support of the Company’s first-in-class small molecule imipridone, ONC201, as a treatment for H3 K27M-mutant diffuse midline gliomas (H3K27M-DMG) in the peer-reviewed journal, Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
