Business Wire
Kairos Pharma, Ltd. (NYSE American: KAPA) is a clinical stage
company involved in treating EGFR-driven lung cancer patients with
ENV105 in combination with osimertinib after they fail to respond
to single-agent osimertinib in a Phase 1 trial. Based on recent
breakthroughs in understanding non-small cell lung cancer mechanism
of resistance to first line osimertinib treatment, the U.S.
Department of Defense (“DoD”) is providing $876,000 to advance a
strategy to identify patients that are starting to develop
resistance at an early stage. The grant was awarded to identify
biomarkers for the Company’s clinical study to address the major
challenge in achieving a lasting cure for lung cancer patients. The
grant was awarded to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to support
research in Dr. Neil Bhowmick’s laboratory to identify biomarkers
of patients with non-small cell carcinoma who have developed
resistance to Osimertinib. This will provide a means to identify
those patients who will benefit from ENV105.
Kairos Pharma CEO John Yu, M.D., stated, “Peer-reviewed support
like this DoD grant is a testament to the sound scientific basis
for our current Phase 1 trial in lung cancer patients receiving
ENV105. It is particularly gratifying in the current environment,
in which these grants are harder to achieve, underscoring the
potential for ENV105 to help ensure effective therapy in this lung
cancer form common to non-smokers. Grants like this enable us to
progress with our trials while minimizing expense and managing our
cash burn.”
The DoD grant is designed to contribute to a strategy to limit
resistance to osimertinib at its most early stages, by identifying
patients that would be best helped by ENV105 treatment. In the near
term, the Company expects that the funded study may lead to more
effective monitoring and early detection of resistance development,
allowing for more timely interventions to improve overall survival
and quality of life for patients.
About Kairos Pharma Ltd.
Based in Los Angeles, California, Kairos Pharma Ltd. (NYSE
American: KAPA) is at the forefront of oncology therapeutics,
utilizing structural biology to overcome drug resistance and immune
suppression in cancer. Our lead candidate, ENV105, is an antibody
that targets CD105 – a protein identified as a key driver of
resistance to various cancer treatments. Elevation of CD105 in
response to standard therapy results in resistance and disease
relapse. ENV105 aims to reverse drug resistance by targeting CD105
and restore the effectiveness of standard therapies across multiple
cancer types. Currently, ENV105 is in a Phase 2 clinical trial for
castrate-resistant prostate cancer and a Phase 1 trial for lung
cancer aimed at addressing significant unmet medical needs. For
