"In 2022, C4T progressed multiple oncology programs by initiating two clinical trials, sharing early clinical data from our lead program, and demonstrating the capabilities of our TORPEDO platform to develop both MonoDAC and BiDAC degraders," said Andrew Hirsch, president and chief executive officer of C4 Therapeutics. "Based on these achievements, 2023 will be an important year with clinical data expected from our two lead programs, CFT7455 and CFT8634. We are well-resourced to execute against our strategic priorities to advance four distinct oncology programs in the clinic by the end of 2023 and deliver on the promise of targeted protein degradation science for the benefit of patients."
RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS AND ANTICIPATED 2023 OBJECTIVES
CFT7455: CFT7455 is an oral degrader of IKZF1/3 for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL).
Recent Achievements:
Progression of the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial with the opening of Arm B2, evaluating CFT7455 in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of MM.
2023 Objectives:
Continue dose escalation in Arms B1, B2 and C of the Phase 1/2 trial, evaluating CFT7455 as a single agent in MM, in combination with dexamethasone in MM, and as a single agent in NHL, respectively.
Present Phase 1 dose escalation data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 trial of CFT7455 in MM in the second half of 2023.
CFT8634: CFT8634 is an oral degrader of BRD9 for the treatment of synovial sarcoma and SMARCB1-null solid tumors.
Recent Achievements:
Pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data from the initial escalation cohorts of the ongoing CFT8634 Phase 1/2 trial demonstrate dose proportional exposure, strong oral bioavailability and deep BRD9 degradation.
2023 Objectives:
Continue dose escalation of the CFT8634 Phase 1/2 trial in synovial sarcoma and SMARCB1-null solid tumors.
Present Phase 1 dose escalation data from the ongoing CFT8634 Phase 1/2 trial in the second half of 2023.
CFT1946: CFT1946 is an oral degrader targeting BRAF-V600 mutations for the treatment of solid tumors including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer and melanoma.
Recent Achievements:
Initiated the Phase 1/2 trial of CFT1946 for the treatment of BRAF-V600 mutant cancers including NSCLC, colorectal cancer and melanoma.
2023 Objectives:
Advance the dose escalation portion of the CFT1946 Phase 1/2 trial in BRAF-V600 mutant solid tumors.
Present new preclinical data on the discovery and characterization of CFT1946 as a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable degrader for the treatment of BRAF-V600-driven cancers at a medical meeting in the first half of 2023.
CFT8919: CFT8919 is a potent and selective oral degrader of EGFR L858R for the treatment of NSCLC.
Recent Achievements:
Completed investigational new drug (IND) enabling activities for CFT8919.
2023 Objectives:
Submit an IND application for CFT8919 for the treatment of NSCLC in the first half of 2023.
