WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:DCPH), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative medicines to improve the lives of people with cancer, today provided a corporate update and highlighted key 2021 milestones in conjunction with its presentation at the 39th Annual J.P. Morgan Virtual Healthcare Conference. The Company will webcast its presentation today at 9:10 AM ET at https://investors.deciphera.com/news-events/events-presentations.

“Building on the successful U.S. launch of QINLOCK last year, we are focused in 2021 on expanding both the geographic reach for QINLOCK and the potential for this medicine to benefit patients with GIST even earlier in the course of their disease,” said Steve Hoerter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Deciphera. “We also look forward to sharing updated data from the vimseltinib (DCC-3014) and rebastinib programs, as well as finalizing our development plans to support potential registration for these two product candidates. With continued execution and investment in our pipeline, we believe we are well positioned to realize our 2021 goals and deliver important new medicines to patients.”
