CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Epizyme, Inc. (NASDAQ: EPZM), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company creating innovative personalized therapeutics for patients with genetically defined cancers, today announced second quarter 2014 operating and financial results and reiterated 2014 guidance.
“We are pleased with our progress to date in 2014 and are excited by the potential to further expand our ongoing clinical programs,” said Robert Gould, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, Epizyme. “For our EZH2 inhibitor, EPZ-6438, yesterday we announced pre-clinical data and early clinical observations from the ongoing Phase 1 study, including pre-clinical findings that support its potential use in NHL patients with mutant or wild type EZH2. Additionally, we saw two objective responses among NHL patients enrolled in the first three cohorts of the Phase 1 study, and one of these patients remains on study. Enrollment is ongoing in dose cohorts 4 and 5 at higher doses, and pending review of further EPZ-6438 Phase 1 results later this year, we plan to initiate two Phase 2 proof-of-concept (POC) studies in NHL and INI1-deficient solid tumors in the fourth quarter. For our DOT1L inhibitor EPZ-5676, enrollment in the adult Phase 1 expansion stage study and pediatric Phase 1b study is ongoing. We now have active POC studies in adult MLL-r, adult MLL-PTD, and pediatric MLL-r acute leukemia patients.”
