Initiation: A make-or-break year

Sunesis is a pharmaceutical company developing small molecule oncology drugs. Its lead program is Qinprezo, a quinolone derivative for relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) without the dose limiting cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines. The FDA discouraged submitting an NDA after it missed its primary endpoint, but significant potential remains in Europe where Qinprezo has data comparable to those used in other related approvals. Sunesis is also advancing SNS-062, a novel non-covalent, oral BTK inhibitor that may work in Imbruvica relapsed and refractory patients.
