"We look forward to sharing data that demonstrate the potential for CBO421 to potently inhibit tumor growth as both a monotherapy and in combination with PD-1 therapies," said Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D. president and chief executive officer of Cidara. "CD73 plays a significant role in contributing to immune evasion in solid tumors. CBO421, our CD73-targeting DFC, combines the strengths of small molecule inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies against CD73 and demonstrates the potential for best-in-class activity to fully exploit the CD73 target to inhibit immune evasion by cancer cells in-vivo. Based on these data, we’re excited to advance this candidate into clinical trials for the treatment of solid tumors."
