The study is set to be completed in May 2021 and primary data is expected to be available by February 2021.

Tolero Pharmaceuticals CEO David Bearss said: “The initiation of this study is an important step forward in understanding the potential of TP-1287 in patients with solid tumours.

“We believe that the oral administration of TP-1287 may be beneficial in disease settings where this form of administration is preferred or when used in combination with other targeted agents.”

TP-1287 is an experimental oral cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitor that showed positive oral bioavailability in preclinical models.
