NUV-1511 is the Company’s first drug-drug conjugate (DDC) to enter the clinic
NEW YORK, NY, USA I March 14, 2024 I Nuvation Bio Inc. (NYSE: NUVB), a biopharmaceutical company tackling some of the greatest unmet needs in oncology by developing differentiated and novel therapeutic candidates, today announced that the first patient has been dosed in a Phase 1/2 study of NUV-1511, the Company’s first DDC to enter the clinic.
“Dosing the first patient with NUV-1511 marks a significant milestone for our proprietary DDC platform, from which we are developing potent oncology-focused chimeric small molecules designed to selectively deliver anti-cancer therapeutics to cancer cells, while mitigating effects on healthy non-target tissues,” said David Hung, M.D., Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Nuvation Bio. “DDCs are the core technology upon which the Company was founded and we are excited to bring our first DDC clinical candidate to patients.”
The dose escalation portion of the study employs a flexible design that allows for the potential to explore two dosing schedules for NUV-1511 with the goal of establishing the recommended Phase 2 dose. The study will initially evaluate safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetic profile, and assess for signs of clinical activity in patients with advanced solid tumors who previously received and progressed on or after treatment with Enhertu® and/or Trodelvy® per approved U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labeling, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), advanced pancreatic cancer, and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC).
