IND Open: CellCentric expanding clinical trials into the US

P300/CBP is an emerging target offering a new path to treat specific cancers. CCS1477, developed by CellCentric, is a small molecule inhibitor of the twin regulator proteins, and formulated as an oral capsule. CCS1477, a first-in-class compound is in parallel strands of clinical trials to treat endocrine resistant prostate cancer, haematological malignancies and targeted tumours (with particular mutations or molecular drivers). These are all significant clinical unmet needs. Following Phase 1b dose escalation and schedule setting conducted at 16 centres in the UK, CellCentric’s clinical programme is expanding into the US, with the FDA opening an IND for CCS1477 for solid tumours.
CellCentric’s first-in-class p300/CBP inhibitor CCS1477 publishes in Cancer Discovery

CellCentric has developed the first p300/CBP inhibitor of its kind, to treat targeted types of cancer. Today’s cornerstone Cancer Discovery publication summarises CCS1477 and its translational data, mapping the drug’s mechanism of action through to specific biological effects seen in late-stage prostate cancer patients. CCS1477 represents a new way to tackle large and clear clinical unmet needs; for prostate cancer patients whose tumour has progressed despite existing therapeutic options, including enzalutamide or abiraterone; for patients with haematological malignancies, including acute myeloid leukaemia, multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; and for other molecularly targeted tumours.
