Hosted by Dr. Eric S. Winer (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute) and Dr. Grzegorz S. Nowakowski (Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center), this symposium will focus on IRAK4, an emerging target in the treatment of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Experts will discuss the promise of IRAK4 inhibition in cancer, including current clinical studies of emavusertib and opportunities for future development.

Symposium presentations will include updated data for 10 evaluable R/R PCNSL patients as of the July 10, 2024 cutoff date. The Company continues to enroll patients in the PCNSL study and is on track to enroll 15-20 patients by year-end.

"As the leader in IRAK4 inhibition in oncology with emavusertib, we are honored to provide a forum for discussing the biology of the IRAK4 pathway and IRAK4 inhibition in the research and development of therapies to benefit patients living with cancer," said James Dentzer, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Curis.
