Abstract Publications

1.   Abstract Title: Safety and Efficacy of Eniluracil + Capecitabine (6422 + Cap) in Phase 1b Trial

Abstract Number: e15152

This online-only abstract provides data from the Phase 1b study that defined the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose Range (RP2DR) for NGC-Cap (eniluracil + capecitabine or 6422 + Cap), highlighting its improved safety profile and anti-tumor activity compared to standard capecitabine.

2.   Abstract Title: Preclinical Project Optimus Dose Escalation of SN-38 Pro-Drug PCS11T

Abstract Number: e15023

This online-only abstract outlines a Project Optimus-aligned approach to define the optimal therapeutic window of PCS11T, a tumor-targeted pro-drug of SN-38. PCS11T is designed to increase drug concentration in tumors while reducing systemic toxicity.

“These ASCO presentations and publications reflect the breadth of our oncology pipeline and the progress we’re making across multiple programs,” said Dr. David Young. “From our Phase 2 clinical program in metastatic breast cancer to preclinical innovations with PCS11T, we are leveraging our Regulatory Science Approach and deep oncology expertise to address critical unmet needs.”
