Business Wire
ENV105 can potentially address resistance in a wide range of
cancers as they become resistant to standard treatments.
Kairos Pharma Ltd. (NYSE American: KAPA), a clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company developing therapies to surmount current
cancer drug resistance and immune suppression, today announces the
addition of City of Hope Cancer Center in Duarte, California to the
Phase 2 clinical trial for ENV105 for castrate-resistant prostate
cancer patients.
City of Hope Cancer Center is the first of several planned new
centers to be added in the coming weeks to support the Company’s
randomized trial for patients receiving either apalutamide or
apalutamide+ENV105 combination therapy. The additional centers
allow Kairos Pharma to test ENV105 in a broader patient population
to identify blood markers that could help select patients expected
to benefit most from ENV105 treatment. The trial is supported by
Kairos Pharma Ltd. and a grant from the National Cancer Institute
(NCI).
Kairos Pharma Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Neil Bhowmick said,
“The preclinical findings suggest that ENV105 blocks a central
mechanism of hormone therapy resistance. We are encouraged that we
have multiple peer-reviewed articles in addition to receiving an
NCI grant that supports the solid science behind this trial. We are
fortunate to be working with the talented and experienced
oncologists at City of Hope, who will be key participants in a
trial that may provide patients with a new alternative to the
current standard of care.”
Kairos CEO Dr. John Yu added, “This is an important milestone in
our mission to develop first-in-class approaches to address the
inevitable resistance that develops in prostate cancer patients
receiving hormone therapy, as it provides additional validation for
the science behind ENV105. City of Hope is a first-class research
institution, and we look forward to our continued collaboration
with them.”
About Kairos Pharma Ltd.
Based in Los Angeles, California, Kairos Pharma Ltd. (NYSE
American: KAPA) is at the forefront of oncology therapeutics,
utilizing structural biology to overcome drug resistance and immune
suppression in cancer. Our lead candidate, ENV105, is an antibody
that targets CD105—a protein identified as a key driver of
resistance to various cancer treatments. Elevation of CD105 in
response to standard therapy results in resistance and disease
relapse. ENV105 aims to reverse drug resistance by targeting CD105
and restore the effectiveness of standard therapies across multiple
cancer types. Currently, ENV105 is in a Phase 2 clinical trial for
castrate-resistant prostate cancer and a Phase 1 trial for lung
cancer aimed at addressing significant unmet medical needs. For
