Sunesis Pharmaceuticals - A shift of gears

Sunesis’s task in realigning the company towards its new lead asset SNS-510 is twofold. First, it is examining the precise direction it intends to take the drug, and it has found synergies both with certain genetic subtypes of cancer as well as with other cancer drugs. Secondly, the company is both raising capital and reducing costs in order to provide the drug a runway into the clinic, and it estimates that it has cash through most of 2021.
