About ENB-003
ENB-003 is a selective endothelin B receptor (ETBR) inhibitor that, in preclinical studies, enhanced the efficacy of immunotherapies such as anti-PD-1, anti-CTLA-4 and CAR T across multiple cancer types in preclinical studies. In an ongoing multi-center Phase 1/2 clinical trial, early efficacy signals suggest that ENB-003 overcomes resistance to the anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in heavily pre-treated drug resistant cancer patients. The Phase 2 portion of the ENB-003 + pembrolizumab combination study is expected to start in the first quarter of 2023. The trial will enroll melanoma patients with innate resistance to anti-PD-1 based immunotherapies, platinum refractory and platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients, as well pancreatic cancer patients that have failed standard of care.
About ENB Therapeutics, Inc.
ENB Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a novel class of medicines, endothelin B receptor (ETBR) inhibitors, to overcome resistance to immune-based therapies such as the immune checkpoint inhibitors. ETBR causes uncontrolled cancer growth, drives cancers to spread through the body and prevents the immune system from detecting and killing cancer cells. ENB’s lead product candidate, ENB-003 specifically blocks the ETBR and has the potential to enhance the efficacy of immune-based therapies. ENB-003 is currently being investigated in an ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial in collaboration with Merck.
