About ORIC-944ORIC-944 is a
potent and selective allosteric inhibitor of the polycomb
repressive complex 2 (PRC2) via the embryonic ectoderm development
(EED) subunit. ORIC-944 was initially evaluated as a single agent
in a Phase 1b trial in patients with advanced prostate cancer and
demonstrated potential best-in-class drug properties, including
clinical half-life of approximately 20 hours, robust target
engagement and a favorable safety profile. ORIC-944 is currently
being evaluated in combination with ERLEADA® (apalutamide) and
in combination with NUBEQA® (darolutamide) in an ongoing Phase
1b trial for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer.
