Treadwell Therapeutics Announces A Presentation at the 2021 SABCS Annual Meeting Featuring a Clinical Trial Update on CFI-402257, a Best-in-Class TTK inhibitor

New York and Hong Kong – December 8th, 2021 – Treadwell Therapeutics, today announced a presentation for the Company’s CFI-402257 program, an oral, best-in-class TTK inhibitor, at the 2021 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) being held from December 7-10, 2021. This presentation will describe dose escalation and expansion data from CFI-402257-CL-001, an investigator-initiated study of CFI-402257 in advanced solid tumors.

“The anti-tumor activity observed with CFI-402257 alone or in combination with Fulvestrant in patients with ER+/Her2- breast cancer, including patients previously treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors, is encouraging and warrants further investigation” said Dr. Phillipe Bedard, Study investigator, Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto and Staff Medical Oncologist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto, Canada. “We look forward to additional data from this study, as well as the initiation of our company sponsored TWT-203 trial in ER+/Her2- breast cancer,” added Dr. Michael Tusche, Treadwell co-CEO.

2021 SABCS Poster Presentations and Details:
CFI-402257-CL-001: An Open-Label, Dose Escalation, Safety, and Pharmacokinetic Study of CFI-402257
Administered Orally to Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors
Poster Number: P1-18-17
Date: December 8th, 7:00 am – 8:30 pm

In this presentation, CFI-402257 demonstrated a tolerable safety profile at doses up to 168 mg QD and linear pharmacokinetics, with 168 mg as the RP2D. In this heavily pre-treated, all-comer patient population (N=67), 25 patients (53.2%) showed disease control (SD+PR+CR) and 5 patients showed confirmed PRs (10.6%), 4 patients with ER+/Her2- breast cancer and 1 with hepatocellular carcinoma. Two of the breast cancer patients were treated with monotherapy and two were treated in combination with fulvestrant. The median duration of response for the breast cancer patients was 256 days with PRs coming after only 2 cycles. The most common drug related toxicities of any grade, which occurred in greater than 10% of patients, were nausea (29.9%), fatigue (22.4%), decreased appetite (20.9%), diarrhea (16.4%), vomiting (13.4%), neutrophil count decrease (11.9%), alopecia (10.4%), neutropenia (10.4%), and white blood cell count decrease (10.4%).

Treadwell Therapeutics Announces US FDA Clearance of IND Application for Phase 2 Study of TTK inhibitor, CFI-402257

New York and Hong Kong – November 30th, 2021 – Treadwell Therapeutics, a clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel therapeutics for highly aggressive cancers, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its Investigational New Drug (IND) application to evaluate CFI-402257, an oral, first-in-class inhibitor of Threonine Tyrosine Kinase (TTK, also as MPS1) in advanced solid tumors and breast cancer.

“TTK is a critical component of the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint and potentially represents a tumor specific vulnerability. Pharmacologic inhibition of TTK using CFI-402257 causes tumor cells to prematurely exit mitosis, leading to increased genomic instability and cell death,” said Dr. Mark Bray, Treadwell Chief Scientific Officer and Co-Founder. “CFI-402257 was developed from concept to clinic by our world class team. Preclinical studies and emerging clinical evidence support the use of CFI-402257 in the context of CDK4/6 inhibitor failure in ER+/Her2- breast cancer, a segment where there is a strong unmet need. We are excited by the promise of the molecule in advanced breast cancer and beyond” added Dr. Michael Tusche, Treadwell co-Chief Executive Officer.

Under this IND, Treadwell intends to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial of CFI-402257 in the first quarter of 2022. This clinical trial is designed to confirm previously efficacious doses and to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of CFI-402257 as a single agent in advanced solid tumors, and in combination with fulvestrant in patients with ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer after disease progression on prior CDK4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy. Start-up activities are currently underway.

CFI-402257 is a highly bioavailable, potent and selective inhibitor of TTK. Preclinical studies showed robust inhibition of tumor growth in a wide variety of xenograft models. CFI-402257 also demonstrated durable activity and a manageable safety profile as a single agent and in combination with fulvestrant in advanced ER+ breast cancer in studies conducted at select Canadian sites.
