Study initiated to evaluate Pidnarulex (CX-5461) + tislelizumab in pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, and melanoma
Senhwa Biosciences, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company today announced the initiation of a global, multi-center clinical trial. The Company has also submitted an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), marking a key milestone in Senhwa’s global clinical development. The study will evaluate Senhwa’s first-in-class investigational drug, Pidnarulex (CX-5461), in combination with BeOne Medicines’ marketed PD-1 inhibitor, tislelizumab, across multiple advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, and melanoma—areas with significant unmet medical needs. The global multi-center design is expected to accelerate clinical validation while enhancing the asset’s visibility, supporting future out-licensing and commercialization opportunities.
