(NASDAQ:SYRS), a leader in the development of medicines that control the expression of genes, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan drug designation (ODD) to SY-5609 for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. SY-5609, a highly selective and potent oral cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) inhibitor, is currently being evaluated in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with relapsed metastatic pancreatic cancer.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThis orphan drug designation underscores the urgency of our efforts to develop SY-5609 for patients with pancreatic cancer, one of the most devastating and difficult to treat malignancies,\u201d said David A. Roth, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Syros. \u201cBased on the early data we reported last year, which demonstrated single-agent activity in heavily pre-treated patients, as well as compelling preclinical data and a strong mechanistic rationale, we believe SY-5609 could deliver meaningful benefit to people with pancreatic cancer, whose tumors have otherwise eluded therapeutic intervention. We look forward to sharing initial data from the safety lead-in portion of our ongoing Phase 1 study later this year.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe FDA&#8217;s Office of Orphan Drug Products grants orphan status to support development of medicines for the treatment of rare diseases that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Orphan drug designation may provide certain benefits, including a seven-year period of market exclusivity if the drug is approved, tax credits for qualified clinical trials and an exemption from FDA application fees.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSyros\u2019 ongoing Phase 1 trial is evaluating SY-5609 in combination with chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer patients who have progressed following treatment with FOLFIRINOX. Patients were randomized to receive either SY-5609 in combination with gemcitabine, or SY-5609 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, at the approved doses of the combination agents. The study is assessing safety and tolerability, as well as efficacy measures such as disease control rate and progression free survival. Safety and clinical activity data from the safety lead-in portion of the trial are expected in the second half of 2022.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nUnder an existing clinical supply agreement with Roche, Syros is also supplying SY-5609 for a combination dosing cohort in Roche\u2019s ongoing Phase 1\/1b INTRINSIC trial. This cohort is evaluating the combination of SY-5609 and atezolizumab in patients with BRAF-mutant colorectal cancer. Roche is the sponsor of the INTRINSIC trial.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Syros Pharmaceuticals<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>Syros is redefining the power of small molecules to control the expression of genes. Based on its unique ability to elucidate regulatory regions of the genome, Syros aims to develop medicines that provide a profound benefit for patients with diseases that have eluded other genomics-based approaches. Syros is advancing a robust clinical-stage pipeline, including: tamibarotene, a first-in-class oral selective RAR\u03b1 agonist in RARA-positive patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia; SY-2101, a novel oral form of arsenic trioxide in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia; and SY-5609, a highly selective and potent oral CDK7 inhibitor in patients with select solid tumors. Syros also has multiple preclinical and discovery programs in oncology and monogenic diseases.
