The study found that marrow blast reductions were observed in all six evaluable patients, with six of seven patients enrolled still on the study, two patients experienced a marrow complete response, and no dose-limiting toxicities were observed.
“We are highly encouraged by the breadth of clinical activity with CA-4948 seen with this early data, especially as this study is both monotherapy and in a late line, relapsed/refractory population,” commented James Dentzer, President and CEO of Curis.
The company’s stock price has skyrocketed premarket, currently trading 201% higher at $4.34 per share, its highest level since 2018, after closing Monday’s session at $1.44.
