About ChemoCentryx
ChemoCentryx, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company
focused on discovering, developing and commercializing
orally-administered therapeutics that target the chemokine and
chemoattractant systems in order to treat autoimmune diseases,
inflammatory disorders and cancer. The chemokine system is a
biological network that regulates inflammation via a collection of
secreted chemokine molecules, or ligands, and their specific cell
surface receptors. Based on its proprietary drug discovery and drug
development platform, ChemoCentryx has generated multiple clinical
and preclinical-stage programs, each targeting distinct chemokine
and chemoattractant receptors with different small molecule
compounds. CCX168, a C5aR inhibitor, has successfully completed
Phase II development for the treatment of anti-neutrophil
cytoplasmic auto-antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV). CCX168
appears to be safe, well tolerated and successful in allowing
reduction and elimination of high-dose steroids, part of standard
of care for AAV patients, without compromising efficacy or safety
in clinical studies to date. CCX168 is also in Phase II studies for
the treatment of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and
immunoglobulin A nephropathy, or IgA nephropathy (IgAN).
ChemoCentryx has licensed exclusive rights to Vifor Pharma to
commercialize CCX168 in Europe and certain other markets outside of
the U.S. and most of Asia. CCX872, a CCR2 inhibitor, successfully
completed Phase I development and is in development for the
treatment of non-resectable pancreatic cancer. CCX140, a distinct
CCR2 inhibitor, successfully completed a Phase II clinical trial
where it was shown to be safe and well tolerated while
demonstrating statistically significant improvement in albuminuria
in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Other clinical programs
include CCX507, a next generation CCR9 inhibitor, which has
successfully completed Phase I development, vercirnon (also known
as Traficet-EN or CCX282) a specific CCR9 inhibitor for the
treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, and CCX354, a CCR1
inhibitor which successfully completed a Phase II clinical trial
for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. ChemoCentryx also has
several programs in advanced preclinical development.
