Cleave Biosciences to Participate in Special Session "New Drugs on the Horizon" at AACR Annual Meeting 2015
BURLINGAME, Calif., April 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists from Cleave Biosciences will be participating in the special session, "New Drugs on the Horizon," at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting 2015 in Philadelphia, PA on Sunday, April 19, 2015 from 3:15pm to 5:15pm ET. Daniel Anderson, Ph.D., Cleave's Director of Biology, will present new in vivo and mechanism of action study results for CB-5083, a first-in-class, oral inhibitor of p97, a critical enzyme that controls various aspects of protein homeostasis. P97 inhibition is a novel approach that has the potential to treat a wide range of cancers, including both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.
"It's an honor to be invited to participate in this AACR annual meeting session that examines novel anti-cancer agents currently in development. Cleave has demonstrated impressive activity with CB-5083 in a wide range of in vivo models for solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, and we've advanced our program in two Phase 1 clinical trials," said Laura Shawver, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Cleave Biosciences.
Cleave's presentation will be available in the "News" section of the company's website following the presentation at AACR.

| Session Description: |
Advances in the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer have led to the identification of key pathways involved in tumor initiation and progression, and translating this innovative science into the next generation of therapeutic agents remains one of the major hurdles to meaningful improvements in cancer treatment. While clinical successes remain extremely challenging to achieve, increasing numbers of targeted agents are emerging through clinical trials and making differences in the lives of patients. This symposium will provide the first disclosure of several new clinical agents that continue the drive for successful targeted therapies. |
