Clinical development of voruciclib to be advanced and new formulation of ME-344 to be enabled
“We are very fortunate as a development-stage therapeutics company to have two very promising oncology candidates, voruciclib and ME-344, that continue to generate data supporting their potential as novel therapeutics to benefit patients with cancer. With the MEI Board aligned around our strategy, we have a productive framework to advance both clinical programs in a manner intended to address significant medical needs while prioritizing a measured and objective-based allocation of our resources,” said David Urso, president and chief executive officer of MEI Pharma. “Voruciclib, our investigational oral CDK9 inhibitor, in combination with venetoclax is being developed to treat patients with relapsed/refractory AML without an actionable mutation, representing a potential opportunity to address more patients in a mutation agnostic approach than mutation specific therapies such as FLT3, IDH or menin inhibitors. In addition, investigational ME-344 has the potential to treat patients across many types of solid tumors through a novel therapeutic strategy in combination with VEGF inhibitors, such as Avastin®, to create synthetic lethality in tumor cells.”
