FDA cleared the NCI-sponsored IND application for cirtuvivint
“We are thrilled that the NCI has received FDA clearance to launch this groundbreaking new Phase 1 trial of cirtuvivint in liquid tumors, both as monotherapy and in combination with ASTX727,” stated Dr. Yusuf Yazici, Chief Medical Officer of Biosplice. “This milestone is a major step forward in our efforts to advance innovative treatments targeting CLKs and DYRKs. Given that dysregulated alternative splicing is commonly implicated in AML and MDS, cirtuvivint’s ability to regulate alternative splicing via CLK and DYRK inhibition may provide a promising new therapeutic pathway for patients. Based on compelling anti-tumor activity across both solid and liquid tumors in in vitro and in vivo models, as well as data from two prior Phase 1 trials in solid tumors, cirtuvivint promises to greatly improve outcomes for patients in these critical and underserved areas.”
