Update: Partner accelerates resminostat development

While 4SC focuses on securing the fresh finance and/or partner required to conduct a Phase IIb study for resminostat in liver cancer, its Japanese partner Yakult Honsha has stepped up development of the HDAC inhibitor. Yakult recently moved two Phase I/II trials, for liver and lung cancer, into the proof-of-concept Phase II part (n=>100) in each study. Importantly, the trial design in first-line liver cancer (also seeking to validate the ZFP64 biomarker) is similar to that proposed by 4SC for its US/EU study. Positive data would therefore provide a compelling case for investment/partnering.
