I had to go a long way back to find this thread, it is for older Novogen shareholders who also hold MEIP
Old Novogen became KZA,
Their PI3K inhibitor will save MEIP. Mods- the companies are related and lead drugs are related by class.
This may be relevant to one of KZA's drugs as well because it too is a PI3K delta inhibitor isn't it and is an earlier version only weaker I believe?

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MEI Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEIP), a late-stage pharmaceutical company focused on advancing new therapies for cancer, today announced that the Phase 1b trial arm exploring zandelisib, an investigational selective phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase ("PI3K") delta inhibitor, in combination with zanubrutinib (marketed as BRUKINSA®, an inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase ("BTK") developed by BeiGene, Ltd. ("BeiGene"), completed the safety evaluation stage in patients with B-cell malignancies and is expanding into disease specific B-cell malignancy cohorts. The Safety Review Committee recommended moving forward with a dosing regimen found to be generally well tolerated and active following a planned safety analysis.
"Inhibition of the PI3K and BTK pathways with combination therapy is believed to present a promising opportunity for inducing a robust and durable response against various B-cell malignancies," said Richard Ghalie, M.D., senior vice president, clinical development, of MEI Pharma. "The intermittent dosing schedule and unique therapeutic profile of zandelisib makes it an attractive option for combination therapy. We are encouraged that the data to date supported the recommendation of the Safety Review Committee to move forward with the expansion cohorts, initially in follicular and mantle cell lymphomas, and we look forward to further exploring the potential of this and other combinations of zandelisib in patients with various B-cell malignancies with our global development partner, Kyowa Kirin."
