About E7386

E7386 is an orally available inhibitor of the CBP/β-catenin interaction, jointly discovered by PRISM BioLab and Eisai Co., Ltd. It targets the CBP/β-catenin signaling pathway, which is implicated in cancer progression and malignancy.
Clinical studies demonstrated antitumor activity of E7386, leading to the achievement of proof of concept (POC) in November 2021. E7386 is currently being evaluated in clinical trials for solid tumors, both as a monotherapy and in combination with other anticancer agents.

About PRI-724 (OP-724)

PRI-724 (generic name: Foscenvivint) is a CBP/β-catenin interaction inhibitor discovered by PRISM BioLab. Rights to the compound for non-oncology indications were out-licensed to Ohara Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Clinical studies in patients with HCV- and HBV-related liver cirrhosis demonstrated improvements in liver stiffness and hepatic function, resulting in the achievement of proof of concept (POC) in April 2022. Foscenvivint is currently being
evaluated in clinical trials including MASH-related liver cirrhosis too.

Internal Drug Discovery Programs

Using the PepMetics® platform, PRISM BioLab identifies hit compounds against internally selected drug targets and optimizes them into clinical candidates for out-licensing.

About FEP

FEP is a program focused on developing 4EBP1-mimetic compounds that inhibit the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between eIF4E and eIF4G, key regulators of cap-dependent translation, a process on which many oncogenic signaling pathways depend. The eIF4E/eIF4G interaction has been shown to be activated through genetic alterations
and overexpression in various cancers, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a disease with limited treatment options and poor clinical outcomes.
Novel therapeutics generated through this program have the potential to provide meaningful treatment options for patients with cancers for which effective therapies remain unavailable.
