[SHANGHAI, China, December 28, 2020] - Genor Biopharma Co Inc, a pre-commercial stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing immune-oncology therapeutics, announced today that multiple IND applications of GB491 (cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor) are under review by NMPA, including indications for 1L/2L hormone receptor positive / human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HR+/HER2-) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
About GB491 (CDK4/6)
GB491 (lerociclib), co-developed by a US company G1 therapeutics and Genor Biopharma, is a highly selective oral CDK4/6 inhibitor for breast cancer. Genor in-licensed exclusive rights of GB491 from G1 Therapeutics in APAC ex-JP in June 2020. Based on the latest data published at European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2020 conference, GB491, comparing to the currently approved CDK4/6 inhibitor in China, palbociclib, has demonstrated better safety profile and could be a potentially best-in-class CDK4/6 drug candidate.
