Onvansertib Targets Key Functions of PLK1 Throughout the Cell Cycle
We are developing onvansertib, an oral and highly selective inhibitor of polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) for the treatment of cancers with the greatest need for new treatment options.
PLK1 is over-expressed in most cancers. Inhibition of PLK1 causes mitotic arrest and subsequent cell death. Emerging data demonstrates that PLK1 is also a key regulator of cellular functions beyond mitosis that are essential for tumor growth.
Targeting a Key Regulatory Enzyme in Tumor Cell Division
We are developing onvansertib, an oral and highly selective inhibitor of polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), which is over expressed in most cancers.
Our Clinical Programs
KRAS-Mutated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC)
Combining onvansertib with FOLFIRI/Avastin® to improve efficacy by increasing duration of response and overall survival.
Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)
Leveraging the synergy of onvansertib to increase duration and response of overall survival.
Zytiga-Resistant Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)
Adding onvansertib to daily Zytiga® to overcome resistance, extend treatment response and overall survival.
