Sunesis and MMRC collaborate to study SNS-032 in myeloma

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, California-Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC) have entered into a collaboration to evaluate Sunesis' SNS-032 for the treatment of multiple myeloma. SNS-032 is a potent, selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) 2, 7, and 9 that inhibits both cell cycle progression and transcription.

Younger and fitter patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma were more likely to receive bispecific antibodies in community oncology settings.
Mechanistic treatment benefits were observed in the phase 2 STEM trial for patients with multiple myeloma.
Data from a retrospective cohort study showed that one-fifth of patients with multiple myeloma received bispecific antibodies in rural community settings.
Being able to treat patients with cevostamab who have multiple myeloma after 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy vs 4 lines may allow for better outcomes.
Using the monitoring of symptoms and quality of life platform may provide a quick and efficient system for patients to submit outcome data.
Current FDA expectations may allow patients to return to their community physicians at 2 weeks after administration of anitocabtagene autoleucel.
Based on its mechanism of action, anito-cel may cause fewer instances of cytokine release syndrome and delayed toxicities vs other therapies.
Combining daratumumab with other agents is one strategy that investigators are exploring in the smoldering multiple myeloma field.
A substantial portion of patients who received daratumumab in the AQUILA study were able to delay disease progression to active multiple myeloma.
The approval of daratumumab validates the notion of using limited therapy to help delay progression from smoldering disease to multiple myeloma.
