Presage Biosciences In-Licenses Clinical Stage Drug Program

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Presage Biosciences, an oncology company pioneering a radical new drug development approach that incorporates human efficacy data much earlier in development and clinical trials, announced today that it has in-licensed voruciclib, its first clinical stage drug program. Voruciclib is an oral CDK inhibitor that has been in clinical development for cancer indications and will be developed in combination with other standard of care agents.

“Using our CIVO platform, we have been able to rapidly identify and understand the biology of voruciclib combinations that hold potential for further clinical development,” said Nathan Caffo, President of Presage. “CIVO clearly distinguished voruciclib from other CDK inhibitors in ways that were unexpected.”
