LEXINGTON, Mass., March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Curis, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRIS), a biotechnology company focused on the development of innovative therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.
"2020 was a transformative year for Curis, as we made significant progress in our mission to develop the next generation of targeted cancer therapies that meaningfully improve and extend the lives of patients. Despite the difficulties and uncertainty brought about by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, we significantly advanced and expanded each program in our clinical pipeline, headlined by the very encouraging data from our Phase 1 trials of lead asset, CA-4948, presented in December in conjunction with ASH," said James Dentzer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Curis. "We look forward to providing additional updates on our IRAK4 program throughout the year, with clinical data readouts from our ongoing studies, including the CA-4948 monotherapy study in AML/MDS and the CA-4948/ibrutinib combination study for patients with R/R hematologic malignancies that we initiated in early 2021. We also continue to enroll patients and bring additional trial sites online in our Phase 1a/1b trial of CI-8993, our first-in-class monoclonal anti-VISTA antibody for the treatment of patients with R/R solid tumors, and look forward to providing preliminary data from this exciting study later this year."
