FAP is a rare genetic disease that if left untreated progresses to colorectal cancer in nearly 100% of patients. In June, an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) recommended continuation of the Phase 3 trial following a planned interim futility analysis. In September, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted CPP-1X/sul "fast track" status, potentially speeding regulatory approval and commercialization.
In 2016 CPP signed a collaboration agreement with Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:SCMP) that grants Sucampo the sole option to acquire an exclusive license to commercialize CPP-1X/sul in North America. Sucampo recently highlighted CPP-1X/sul during their 2017 R&D Day in New York City.
