Current wording
Prostate cancer is the second most common malignancy in men, contributing significantly to male mortality rates. Approximately 13% of men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point during their lifetime. In any given year, there are approximately 65,000 drug treatable mCRPC cases in the U.S. across the various lines of therapy, and 5-year survival in mCRPC is approximately 30%.
Previous wording
Treatment choice in first and second line mCRPC significantly depends on patients’ prior treatments. Androgen receptor signaling inhibitors or androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (“ARSIs”/“ARPIs”, often used interchangeably) and chemotherapy are the preferred treatments in patients who have not been exposed to either in earlier lines of therapy. Most patients previously treated with an ARSI/ARPI for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer will then receive chemotherapy in first-line mCRPC. Rechallenge with an alternative ARSI/ARPI is associated with limited benefit in this setting.
Current wording
Treatment choice in first and second line mCRPC significantly depends on patients’ prior treatments in the castration sensitive phase. Androgen receptor signaling inhibitors or androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (“ARSIs” / “ARPIs,” often used interchangeably) and chemotherapy are the preferred treatments in patients who have not been exposed to either in earlier lines of therapy. Most patients who previously progressed on an ARPI will subsequently receive chemotherapy. Switching to another ARPIs is another option for these patients but this approach is generally associated with suboptimal outcomes.
Previous wording
For the 25-30% of patients with homologous recombination repair mutation, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors are the standard of care for mCRPC patients.
Current wording
For the 25-30% of patients with homologous recombination repair mutation (“HRRm”), poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase PARP inhibitors are the standard of care for mCRPC patients.

Furthermore, PSMA-PET has been validated as standard of care diagnostic in prostate cancer, while LOCAMETZ or an approved PSMA-11 imaging agent are approved to select patients for treatment with Pluvicto (lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan).
Current wording
The recent approval of prostate-specific membrane antigen (“PSMA”)-targeted radiopharmaceutical Pluvicto (lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan) in the post-ARPI and pre-chemotherapy setting has diversified treatment options in first and second line mCRPC for PSMA positive patients. Furthermore, PSMA-PET has been validated as standard of care diagnostic in prostate cancer, while LOCAMETZ or an approved PSMA-11 imaging agent are approved to select patients for treatment with Pluvicto.
Previous wording
FibroGen is developing FG-3246 in the post-ARPI, pre-chemotherapy mCRPC setting. This is an area of high unmet need, where radiographic progression free survival is approximately 5.6-6 months after switching to a different ARPI, and approximately 8 months with chemotherapy. Novel mechanisms of action that extend survival are critical in this setting as well as biomarker driven treatment approaches. FG-3246 and the potential patient selection biomarker FG-3180 are being developed to address these unmet medical needs.
Current wording
Kyntra Bio is developing FG-3246 in the post-ARPI, pre-chemotherapy mCRPC setting. This is an area of high unmet need, where radiographic progression free survival is short: Approximately 5-6 months after switching to a different ARPI, approximately 8 months with chemotherapy, and 9.3 months with Pluvicto in PSMA-positive patients, who are considered appropriate to delay taxane-based chemotherapy. Novel mechanisms of action that extend survival are critical in this setting as well as biomarker driven treatment approaches. FG-3246 and the potential patient selection biomarker FG-3180 are being developed to address these unmet medical needs.
Previous wording
We are developing FG-3246 in mCRPC and exploring other potential cancer indications. FG-3246 is a potential first-in-class ADC targeting a novel epitope on CD46. In addition to CD46 being expressed at high levels in certain tumor types with limited expression in most normal tissues, CD46 is a cell receptor that induces internalization upon antibody binding, which makes it an ideal target for an ADC. The cytotoxic payload of FG-3246 is monomethyl auristatin E (“MMAE”), an anti-mitotic agent that has been utilized in four commercially approved ADC drugs.

We initiated a Phase 2 monotherapy, dose-optimization study of FG-3246 for the treatment of mCRPC in the third quarter of 2025, with interim results expected in the second half of 2026.
Current wording
We are actively enrolling our Phase 2 monotherapy dose optimization study of FG-3246 for the treatment of patients with mCRPC in the post-ARPI and pre-chemotherapy setting, with interim results expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Previous wording
The Phase 2 monotherapy trial (NCT06842498) is a randomized, open label, dose optimization trial designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of FG-3246 for the treatment of patients with mCRPC who have progressed following ARPI treatment and who have not received chemotherapy for their mCRPC. The trial is scheduled to enroll 75 patients who will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive either 1.8, 2.4 or 2.7 mg/kg AJBW of FG-3246. The primary endpoint of the trial is the determination of the optimal dose for the Phase 3 trial based on efficacy, safety, and PK parameters. Secondary endpoints include radiographic progression free survival (rPFS), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) 50 response, and PSA90 response. An interim analysis is planned once 12 patients enrolled in each of the three dose arms have completed 12 weeks on study or discontinued and is anticipated in the second half of 2026. An exploratory sub-study will evaluate FG-3180, a companion PET imaging agent, as a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical. All patients deemed eligible for participation in the Phase 2 trial will participate in the sub-study evaluating FG-3180 prior to randomization.

In May 2024, the University of California, San Francisco (“UCSF”) presented positive interim results from the dose escalation portion of the investigator-sponsored Phase 1b/2 study of FG-3246 in combination with enzalutamide in patients with mCRPC at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting. The presentation includes data from 17 biomarker unselected patients in the dose escalation portion of the trial. Over 70% of the patients in the study received at least two prior ARPIs, which included prior enzalutamide treatment. Dose escalation was explored with and without prophylactic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (“G-CSF”) support. The primary endpoint was determination of the maximally tolerated dose of FG-3246 in combination with enzalutamide. The combination treatment demonstrated an encouraging preliminary estimate of median radiographic progression-free survival (“rPFS”) of 10.2 months. The maximally tolerated dose was established at 2.1 mg/kg adjusted body weight, with primary G-CSF prophylaxis, in combination with enzalutamide 160 mg/day. The most frequent adverse events were consistent with other MMAE-based ADCs and included fatigue, weight loss, elevated transaminases, neutropenia, and peripheral neuropathy. We expect topline results from the Phase 2 portion of this study in the first quarter of 2026.

In February 2026, the University of California, San Francisco (“UCSF”) presented positive results from the investigator-sponsored Phase 1b/2 study of FG-3246 in combination with enzalutamide in patients with mCRPC at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO GU). The presentation includes data from 44 biomarker unselected patients with progressive mCRPC, 17 of which were enrolled in the Phase 1b dose escalation portion of the study with 27 enrolled in the dose expansion phase of the study. Eligibility criteria for the trial included patients who progressed on at least one prior ARPI while patients who were treated with prior chemotherapy in the castration-resistant setting were excluded. Over 60% of the patients progressed on two or more prior ARPIs prior to enrollment, which included prior enzalutamide treatment. The primary endpoint of the escalation phase was assessment of dose-limiting toxicities (“DLT”) and determination of the maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose for the Phase 2 portion of the study – which was determined to be 2.1 mg/kg of FG-3246 and 160mg/day of enzalutamide. The primary endpoint of the Phase 2 expansion portion of the study was composite response rate (PSA50 response and/or objective response per RECIST v1.1). Secondary endpoints were PSA50 response rate, objective response rate, rPFS, overall survival, and treatment-related adverse events (“TRAEs”).

Limitations of the Current Standard of Care for Anemia in MDS
Previous wording
Stem cell transplant is the only potentially curative therapy for MDS, but it is not feasible in most patients due to their advanced age and frailty. The high rate of severe anemia leaves recurring red blood cell transfusions as the mainstay of care in MDS patients. Transfusion can result in direct organ damage through transfusional iron overload. Transfusion-dependent MDS patients suffer higher rates of cardiac events, infections, and transformation to acute leukemia, a decreased overall survival rate when compared with non-transfused patients with MDS, and decreased survival compared to an age-matched elderly population. Patients receiving red blood cell transfusions may require an iron chelator in order to address toxic elements of iron overload such as lipid peroxidation and cell membrane, protein, DNA, and organ damage.

Stem cell transplantation is the only potentially curative therapy for MDS, but it is not feasible in most patients due to their advanced age and frailty. The high rate of severe anemia leaves recurring red blood cell (“RBC”) transfusions as the mainstay of care in MDS patients. Transfusion can result in direct organ damage through transfusional iron overload. Transfusion-dependent MDS patients suffer higher rates of cardiac events, infections, and transformation to acute leukemia, a decreased overall survival rate when compared with non-transfused patients with MDS, and decreased survival compared to an age-matched elderly population.

Lower-risk MDS patients represent approximately 77% of the total diagnosed MDS population. National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend the use of ESAs, luspatercept and imetelstat in lower risk MDS patients, depending on patients’ treatment history, serum erythropoietin (“EPO”) levels andring sideroblast status. Currently available treatment options are effective in only ~50% patients, are challenging to dose-calibrate and can only be administered via subcutaneous injection or through IV infusion. New strategies that provide durable response and the convenience of oral administration are highly desired in managing patients with lower-risk MDS.

Market Opportunity for Roxadustat in MDS
Previous wording
We believe there is a significant need for a safe, effective, and convenient option to address anemia in patients with lower-risk MDS. Roxadustat, our orally administered small molecule hypoxia-inducible prolyl hydroxylase (“HIF-PH”) inhibitor, stimulates the body’s natural mechanism of red blood cell production and iron hemostasis based on cellular-level oxygen-sensing and iron-regulation mechanisms. Unlike ESAs which are limited to providing exogenous EPO, roxadustat activates a coordinated erythropoietic response in the body that includes the stimulation of red blood cell progenitors, an increase in the body’s production of endogenous EPO, and an increase in iron availability for hemoglobin synthesis, which we believe is important in a broad range of MDS patients. Moreover, in anemia of CKD, roxadustat has demonstrated the ability in clinical trials to increase and maintain hemoglobin levels in the presence of inflammation as measured by C-reactive protein (“CRP”), where ESAs have shown limited effect. We believe that roxadustat has the potential to replicate this result in MDS anemia patients, where it is not uncommon for patients to present with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
