- ChemoCentryx Inc (NASDAQ:CCXI) announced the presentation of preclinical data and initial pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data from the ongoing Phase 1 study of CCX559 at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2022.
- Preclinical characterization demonstrated that CCX559 is a potent inhibitor of PD-L1 that blocks binding to PD-1 and CD80 and prevents PD-L1 inhibition of T cell activation.
- ChemoCentryx reported initial data from patients enrolled in the first three dose cohorts in the ongoing Phase I study, receiving once daily at doses of 30 mg, 60 mg, and 120 mg.
- In patients, the mean exposure at 120 mg CCX559 is comparable to exposures with anti-tumor activity in preclinical models and sufficient for PD-L1 target coverage.

- Price Action: CCXI shares are up 2.88% at $21.77 during the market session on the last check Wednesday.
