EIS-12656 is a small molecule designed to treat tumors that are refractory or resistant to PARP inhibitors.

Key Points: 
  • EIS-12656 is a small molecule designed to treat tumors that are refractory or resistant to PARP inhibitors.
  • By hindering DNA repair, PARP inhibitors cause tumor cell death, and they have been effective therapies for many ovarian, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers.
  • EIS-12656 inhibits the chromatin remodeling enzyme ALC1, which is critical to the DNA repair process associated with PARP activation.
  • EIS-12656 was developed by Eisbach to disrupt DNA-damage-dependent PARP activation at an early stage of the repair process.

Key Points: 
  • “Most importantly, the clinical development of CMP-CPS-001 is a step toward potentially bringing a new, disease-modifying treatment to individuals living with UCDs.
  • People with urea cycle disorders accumulate excessive ammonia in their blood, which may cause irreversible brain damage, disability, and seizures, and may be fatal.
  • CMP-CPS-001 targets carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1), a key enzyme that catalyzes the first step of the urea cycle.
  • For more information about the Phase 1 clinical study of CMP-CPS-001, please visit clinicaltrials.gov ( NCT06247670 ).
