ZEN-3694

Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) refers to prostate cancer that has spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body and continues to progress despite treatments that lower testosterone levels (androgen deprivation therapy or ADT) major pharmaceutical companies are heavily investing in research and development of new treatments, including immunotherapy (e.g., sipuleucel-T) and targeted therapies, which are seen as the next frontier in treating mCRPC. The use of precision medicine to identify genetic profiles in patients has further expanded the potential for targeted treatment.

The two agents 177Lu-PSMA-I&T and 64Cu-PSMA-I&T target prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expressed on prostate cancer cells and are being investigated for prostate cancer treatment and diagnostics. In July 2024, the US FDA granted fast-track designation to the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)–targeted radiopharmaceutical 225Ac-FL-020 for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). In July 2024, Merck and Orion Corporation announced the mutual exercise of option providing Merck global exclusive rights to Opevesostat, an investigational CYP11A1 inhibitor, for the treatment of Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer. In July 2024, the US FDA granted fast-track designation to the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) BNT324/DB-1311 to potentially treat patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) whose disease had progressed on or after standard systemic regimens. In July 2024, FutureChem announced that the FC-705 has received orphan drug designation from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) for the treatment of prostate cancer. In June 2024, CAR T-Cell Therapy demonstrated promising results for mCRPC according to Phase I trial results.

In July 2024, Blue Earth Therapeutics announced the signing of a clinical research collaboration with University College London (UCL). The collaboration is centered on a Phase I/II trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, radiation dosimetry, and antitumor activity of the 225Ac-rhPSMA-10.1 in men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer who have previously responded to lutetium 177 (177Lu)-PSMA therapy.

Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Overview Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is an advanced stage of prostate cancer that continues to grow and spread despite hormone therapy aimed at lowering testosterone levels. The term "metastatic" refers to cancer spreading to other parts of the body, such as the bones, lymph nodes, or distant organs, while "castration-resistant" indicates that the cancer no longer responds to treatments that reduce testosterone, a key driver of prostate cancer growth. mCRPC is typically more aggressive and challenging to treat than earlier stages of prostate cancer. The causes of mCRPC stem from genetic and environmental factors. Genetic mutations in the androgen receptor pathway can make cancer cells less dependent on testosterone, allowing them to thrive even under hormone-suppressing treatments. Environmental factors like diet, lifestyle, and exposure to certain chemicals may also contribute to the development and progression of prostate cancer. Symptoms of mCRPC often include pain in bones, fatigue, difficulty urinating, weight loss, and general weakness. As the cancer spreads, it can impair the function of other organs, depending on the site of metastasis. Diagnosis of mCRPC usually involves a combination of tests, including prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests, imaging studies like CT scans, MRIs, or bone scans, and sometimes biopsies to confirm the spread and resistance to treatment. Treatment options for mCRPC are more complex and may include newer hormonal therapies (e.g., abiraterone, enzalutamide), chemotherapy (docetaxel or cabazitaxel), immunotherapy (e.g., sipuleucel-T), or targeted therapies such as PARP inhibitors. Bone-targeting therapies, radiation, and palliative care can also be used to manage symptoms and improve the quality of life. Treatment is typically tailored to the individual based on the extent of the disease and the patient health.

ZEN-3694 Expands Development to Include Multiple Rare Oncology Indications Calgary, Alberta--(News - February 29, 2024) - Zenith Epigenetics Ltd. ("Zenith" or the "Company") announces its support of Rare Disease Day by highlighting our expanded development efforts of BET inhibitor ZEN-3694 for rare oncology diseases. Rare Disease Day takes place every year on the last day of February, with this leap year day being the rarest of all Rare Disease Days. This event is a global movement to promote equity in healthcare, and access to diagnosis and therapies for individuals living with rare diseases. We are developing ZEN-3694 for the treatment of two aggressive rare cancers with very poor prognosis and no effective approved therapies, NUT carcinoma (NC) and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST). In addition to clinical trials, we have also provided ZEN-3694 for compassionate use to multiple patients with these diseases and are excited to soon announce results from these important studies. "We are proud to be developing ZEN-3694 to help patients with aggressive, rare forms of cancer, who currently have no access to effective therapies. We are very pleased that NUT carcinoma patients receiving ZEN-3694 in clinical trial and compassionate use settings have benefitted from our drug," said Donald McCaffrey, CEO of Zenith Epigenetics. "Our goal is to improve outcomes and quality of life for NUT carcinoma patients, and we are committed to developing ZEN-3694 through registration for the treatment of this disease. We are also excited about exploring the activity of ZEN-3694 in MPNST, a rare cancer with devastating impact on patients' lives." NC is a highly aggressive type of squamous cell cancer with very poor prognosis that often forms in the head, neck, or lungs. There are currently no effective treatments for this devastating disease that primarily affects adolescents and young adults with a median survival of only 6 months. New diagnostic technologies have allowed for much better diagnosis of NC. The diagnosis rate is increasing rapidly with growing awareness and analytical testing for this disease. ZEN-3694 is being developed in two separate NC clinical trials. The first NC trial, NCT05019716, which combines ZEN-3694 with chemotherapy (etoposide/platinum), is active and recruiting patients. The second trial NCT05372640, combines ZEN-3694 with the CDK4/6 Inhibitor Abemaciclib and is also accruing patients. Both of these trials have shown promising activity. MPNST is a cancer of the cells that form the sheath that covers and protects peripheral nerves. The prevalence of MPNST in the general population is one in 100,000 and comprises 5-10% of all soft-tissue sarcomas. MPNST is most common in young adults, and the prognosis of patients with metastatic disease is extremely poor, with a median survival of less than one year. A clinical trial with ZEN-3694 is in the late planning stage and initiation is expected in the second half of 2024. About NUT Carcinoma and BET inhibition NUT carcinoma is driven by NUTM1 genetic alterations, most commonly fusion to BRD4 (bromodomain-containing protein 4) resulting in a fusion oncoprotein. ZEN-3694 is a BET bromodomain inhibitor that directly binds to NUT fusion proteins, disrupts their activity, and inhibits cancer growth. NUT carcinoma is diagnosed by testing tumor tissue for the fusion protein using immunohistochemistry (IHC) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or by DNA sequencing to identify the NUT fusion oncogene. About MPNST and BET inhibition MPNST is driven by NF1 gene mutation in 40% of cases. Researchers have identified a BET protein dependency in these NF1-mutant MPNST tumors, and thus ZEN-3694 may disrupt this dependency and inhibit cancer cell growth. About Zenith and ZEN-3694 Zenith Epigenetics Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Zenith Capital Corp., is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and other disorders with significant unmet medical need. Zenith Epigenetics is developing various novel combinations of BET inhibitors with other targeted agents. Our lead compound, ZEN-3694, is in clinical development for various oncologic indications such as metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, NUT carcinoma, ovarian cancer and RAS activated tumors. Several of these studies are sponsored by NCI under the NCI-Zenith Cooperative Research & Development Agreements (CRADA) and CRADAs between NCI and other NCI collaborators.
