About CFT7455
CFT7455 is an orally bioavailable MonoDAC™ (Monofunctional Degradation Activating Compound) designed to be highly potent and selective against its intended targets of Ikaros (IKZF1) and Aiolos (IKZF3). CFT7455 binds with high affinity to the E3 ligase adapter protein, cereblon, to target and degrade IKZF1/3 for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs), including peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In pre-clinical studies, CFT7455 has demonstrated potent and selective protein degradation with favorable pharmacological properties. The Company initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for CFT7455 in June 2021 and is actively enrolling patients in the ongoing trial. More information about this trial may be accessed at www.clinicaltrials.gov (identifier: NCT04756726).
