WATERTOWN, Mass., Aug. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C4 Therapeutics, Inc. (C4T) (NASDAQ:CCCC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering a new class of small-molecule medicines that selectively destroy disease-causing proteins through degradation, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan drug designation (ODD) to CFT7455 for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
The FDA's Office of Orphan Products Development grants orphan designation status to drugs and biologics that are intended for the safe and effective treatment, diagnosis or prevention of rare diseases, or conditions that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. Orphan Drug Designation provides certain benefits, including financial incentives, to support clinical development and the potential for up to seven years of market exclusivity in the U.S. upon regulatory approval.
"We are pleased to receive FDA's orphan drug designation for CFT7455 in multiple myeloma and believe this designation highlights the potential of CFT7455 to improve clinical outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma who face an incurable disease," said Adam Crystal, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer of C4 Therapeutics. "With far too many patients relapsing on numerous lines of therapy and succumbing to multiple myeloma, we are focused on advancing our Phase 1/2 trial to bring this new treatment option to patients."
CFT7455 is an orally bioavailable MonoDAC™ degrader targeting IKZF1/3 for the treatment of multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, including peripheral T-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma. In June 2021, C4T initiated the Phase 1/2 clinical trial to primarily investigate safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity, with secondary and exploratory objectives to characterize the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of CFT7455. Across the Phase 1/2 trial, C4T plans to enroll approximately 160 patients.

WATERTOWN, Mass., Aug. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C4 Therapeutics, Inc. (C4T) (NASDAQ:CCCC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering a new class of small-molecule medicines that selectively destroy disease-causing proteins through degradation, today reported business highlights and financial results for the second quarter of 2021.
"In the second quarter, C4T made meaningful progress on our ambitious goals and became a clinical-stage company with the initiation of the CFT7455 Phase 1/2 trial, which has the potential to deliver improved outcomes for patients with hematologic malignancies," said Andrew Hirsch, chief executive officer at C4 Therapeutics. "We believe C4T's differentiated approach to targeted protein degradation can alter existing paradigms for cancer treatment. With a focus on advancing our research portfolio, we initiated IND-enabling activities for CFT8919, a potent and selective degrader of EGFR L858R, the driver mutation in more than a third of mutant EGFR lung cancer tumors. Backed by a strong balance sheet, following a successful follow-on offering, we remain on track to deliver four clinical-stage programs by the end of 2022."
SECOND QUARTER 2021 AND RECENT BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
CFT7455: CFT7455 is an orally bioavailable MonoDAC™ degrader targeting IKZF1/3 for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), including peripheral T-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma.
- Received Orphan Drug Designation: In August 2021, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Orphan Drug Designation to CFT7455 for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
- Dosed First Patient in Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial: In June 2021, C4T announced the dosing of the first patient in our Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CFT7455 in MM and NHL, including peripheral T-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma.
- Presented at the 16th Annual International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma: In June 2021, C4T presented pre-clinical data demonstrating CFT7455 binds to cereblon with high affinity, thereby inducing potent and deep degradation of IKZF1 in pre-clinical NHL models, and achieved improved in vivo potency and efficacy when compared to approved and investigational IKZF1/3 degraders.

The objective of the BRAF program, which is partnered with Roche, is to develop an orally bioavailable BiDAC degrader targeting BRAF V600E mutations for the treatment of genetically defined solid tumors, including locally advanced or metastatic melanoma and NSCLC.
- Continue lead optimization activities for the RET program through 2021. The objective of the RET program is to develop an orally bioavailable BiDAC degrader targeting genetically altered RET for the treatment of solid tumors, including NSCLC and medullary thyroid cancers that are resistant to RET inhibitors.
SECOND QUARTER 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue: Total revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $9.8 million, compared to $9.7 million for the second quarter of 2020. Total revenue reflects revenue recognized under collaboration agreements with Roche, Biogen and Calico. The increase in revenue was primarily due to additional progress made on targets under collaboration agreements.
Research and Development (R&D) Expense: R&D expense for the second quarter of 2021 was $23.3 million, compared to $17.8 million for the second quarter of 2020. The increase in R&D expense was primarily attributable to higher pre-clinical costs related to our lead programs, and increased workforce expenses to support continued clinical development activities for CFT7455.
General and Administrative (G&A) Expense: G&A expense for the second quarter of 2021 was $8.6 million, compared to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2020. The increase in G&A expense was primarily attributable to workforce expenses related to our growing G&A functions, principally stock-based compensation expense related to new stock option grants and an increase in the fair value of C4T's common stock, and higher professional fees and insurance costs resulting from the transition to a public company.
Net Loss and Net Loss per Share: Net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $22.6 million, compared to $10.8 million for the second quarter of 2020. Net loss per share for the second quarter of 2021 was $0.51, compared to $9.28 for the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in net loss per share despite the increase in net loss was driven by a significant increase in the weighted-average shares outstanding caused by our initial public offering of 11,040,000 common shares in October 2020 and the resultant conversion of then outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock into 30,355,379 shares of common stock, and 4,887,500 shares of common stock issued upon closing of our follow-on offering in June 2021.
Cash Position and Financial Guidance: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2021 were $498.7 million, compared to $371.7 million as of December 31, 2020. The change in cash was primarily driven by net proceeds from the June 2021 follow-on offering of $169.5 million, offset by expenditures to fund operations. C4T expects that cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2021, together with future payments expected to be received under existing collaboration agreements, will be sufficient to fund planned operating expenses and capital expenditures for at least the next 24 months.

– CFT7455 Demonstrated High Binding Affinity to Cereblon and Target Selectivity in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Cell Models, Producing Rapid and Deep Degradation of IKZF1/3 Proteins –
– CFT7455 Resulted in Improved Efficacy and Potency in Tumor Xenograft Models Compared to Investigational and Approved IMiD Therapies –
– CFT7455 Phase 1/2 Trial in Multiple Myeloma and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas Initiated June 2021; Top-line Clinical Data Expected 2022 –
WATERTOWN, Mass., June 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C4 Therapeutics, Inc. (C4T) (NASDAQ:CCCC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering a new class of small-molecule medicines that selectively destroy disease-causing proteins through degradation, presented pre-clinical data for CFT7455, the Company's lead program. CFT7455 is an orally bioavailable MonoDAC™ targeting IKZF1/3 for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), including peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). These results, which support clinical evaluation of CFT7455 in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, were delivered as a poster presentation at the 16th Annual International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma (ICML).
"We are pleased to share these pre-clinical data, which further validate the potential of our lead candidate, CFT7455, to generate deep and durable antitumor responses in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. IKZF1/3 proteins are essential transcription factors for B cell malignancies, including non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, and we believe there is a compelling opportunity to explore the potential of optimized IKZF1/3 degradation as a much-needed therapeutic alternative," said Adam Crystal, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer of C4 Therapeutics. "These results, which are consistent with recent pre-clinical data in multiple myeloma presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2021, reinforce our belief that CFT7455 will provide significant clinical value in the treatment of hematologic malignancies as we advance the Phase 1/2 trial and prepare to share data in 2022."
Summary of Results
C4T conducted in vitro studies which demonstrated that CFT7455 binds to cereblon with high affinity, inducing potent and deep degradation of IKZF1 in pre-clinical NHL models. Notable observations include:
- Cellular competition studies confirmed the high potency of CFT7455 as a cereblon binder (IC50 = 0.4 nM).
- Treatment of the KiJK cell line of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) with CFT7455 for 6 hours led to an 89% reduction in IKZF1 protein levels.
- CFT7455 demonstrated potent antiproliferative activity across a panel of NHL cell lines with MYC, BCL2, and/or BCL6 translocations or rearrangements. This includes in vitro models of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and high-grade B-cell lymphoma.
In xenograft models of NHL, CFT7455 achieved improved in vivo potency and efficacy, including deeper and more durable tumor regressions in models of ALCL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and MCL, when compared to approved and investigational IMiD therapies. Notable observations include:
- CFT7455 treatment (100 µg/kg/day, PO) led to durable tumor regression associated with deep IKZF1 degradation and IRF4 downregulation (7% and 25% remaining, respectively) in KiJK xenografts, where pomalidomide treatment was ineffective at a clinically relevant dose (3000 µg/kg/day).
- In the TMD8 DLBCL xenograft model, which proved insensitive to IMiD treatment, CFT7455 (100 µg/kg) promoted tumor regression.
- In the REC1 MCL xenograft model, doses of CFT7455 ≥ 10 µg/kg promoted tumor regression. Pharmacodynamic studies showed that CFT7455 (30 µg/kg) promoted degradation of IKZF1 and downregulation of cyclin D1 and E2F1.
- CFT7455 achieved dose-dependent efficacy in both ALK- (DL-40) and ALK+ (KiJK) xenograft models, from 3-100 µg/kg with regressions at doses ≥ 30 µg/kg. In addition, CFT7455 was shown to be between >30-100 times more potent than other IKZF1/3 degraders in development.
- Global proteomic studies showed only IKZF1/3 proteins were significantly degraded in DL-40 tumors with treatment of CFT7455, resulting in modulation of IFN-regulated genes.
- Global proteomic studies showed only IKZF1/3 proteins were significantly degraded in DL-40 tumors with treatment of CFT7455, resulting in modulation of IFN-regulated genes.
These results support continued development of CFT7455, which C4T is currently exploring for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas following the initiation of a Phase 1/2 clinical study in June 2021.
C4T's ICML poster presentation will be archived on the "Scientific Publications" page in the Investors section of the Company's website, located at www.c4therapeutics.com.
