Reworded paragraphs (20)
Previous wording
Our most advanced product candidate, cemsidomide, is an orally bioavailable MonoDAC degrader of protein targets called IKZF1 and IKZF3. Cemsidomide is currently in clinical development for multiple myeloma, or MM, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or NHL. The United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, has granted orphan drug designation to cemsidomide for the treatment of MM. In December 2024, we shared data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial of cemsidomide in MM and NHL as of an October 11, 2024 cutoff date. The dose escalation portion of the trial evaluating cemsidomide in combination with dexamethasone in MM demonstrated a well-tolerated safety profile and compelling anti-myeloma activity, as measured by overall response rate and clinical benefit rate. Additionally, we previously shared MM monotherapy data that showed cemsidomide activates immune cells at clinically relevant doses. In December 2024, we also shared data evaluating cemsidomide as a monotherapy in NHL that demonstrated a well-tolerated profile and compelling anti-lymphoma activity in NHL and in peripheral t-cell lymphoma, or PTCL, as measured by overall response rate and complete metabolic response rate.
