(Nasdaq: ORIC), a clinical stage oncology company focused on developing treatments that address mechanisms of therapeutic resistance, today reported financial results and operational updates for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. “We continue to make steady progress in advancing our pipeline of novel oncology candidates,” said Jacob M. Chacko, MD, chief executive officer, “We expect to report initial data from our three ongoing studies in the first half of 2023, which includes our Phase 1b single agent trials for ORIC-533, our orally bioavailable CD73 inhibitor, ORIC-114, our brain penetrant EGFR/HER2 inhibitor, and ORIC-944, our embryonic ectoderm development (EED) inhibitor.” First Quarter 2022 and Other Recent Highlights Preclinical Data Presented at AACR: In April 2022, ORIC disclosed new preclinical data in three poster presentations and one oral presentation at the 2022 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting. ORIC-533: Oral Small Molecule CD73 Inhibitor ORIC-533 is a highly potent, orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor of CD73 that has demonstrated more potent adenosine inhibition in preclinical studies compared to an antibody approach and other small molecule inhibitors of the adenosine pathway. In preclinical studies, ORIC-533 overcame immune suppression and triggered significant lysis and cell death of multiple myeloma cells in an assay comprised of autologous bone marrow microenvironment. A Phase 1b trial with ORIC-533 as a single agent in multiple myeloma is enrolling patients, and the company expects to report initial Phase 1b data from this trial in the first half of 2023. ORIC-114: EGFR/HER2 Inhibitor ORIC-114 is a brain penetrant, orally bioavailable, irreversible inhibitor designed to selectively target EGFR and HER2 with high potency against exon 20 insertion mutations. In preclinical studies, ORIC-114 achieved tumor regressions in an EGFR exon 20 ...
