Ph 1B Study of FX-909 initiated for Treatment of Metastatic Urothelial Cancer
“The initiation of the Phase 1B expansion study marks an important milestone as we seek to improve the treatment of advanced urothelial cancer with our lead program FX-909,” said Doug Manion, M.D., FRCP (C), Chief Executive Officer and Board Member. “We are prospectively screening for patients with high expression of PPARG, the hallmark of the luminal lineage, which accounts for approximately 65% of cases of advanced UC. We believe our PPARG inhibitor approach in this defined patient population represents a significant step toward addressing the disease at its source. By introducing a novel nuclear hormone receptor therapy—akin to the critical roles AR and ER play in prostate and breast cancers, respectively—we are expanding the therapeutic landscape to directly target the cell of origin and address the underlying disease biology.”
