Synnovation Therapeutics Doses First Patient in Phase I Trial of PARP1 Inhibitor for Solid Tumors

Synnovation Therapeutics, a company specializing in precision medicine, has announced the commencement of dosing for the first patient in their Phase I clinical trial of SNV1521, a PARP1 inhibitor, in patients with solid tumors. This trial is led by Dr. Timothy Yap from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and aims to evaluate SNV1521 as an oral monotherapy through dose escalation and initial efficacy studies.

SNV1521 stands out due to its potential as a highly effective and selective PARP1 inhibitor that can penetrate the central nervous system. This characteristic could lead to enhanced efficacy and safety compared to first-generation PARP1 inhibitors, which have shown limitations in safety, particularly when combined with chemotherapy or other new treatments. Preclinical models have demonstrated that selective targeting of PARP1 enhances both effectiveness and safety.

Kevin O’Hayer, Senior Vice President, Head of Clinical Development at Synnovation, emphasized the significance of this milestone, marking Synnovation’s transition from preclinical to clinical stages. He expressed enthusiasm about collaborating with Dr. Yap and the team of investigators for this study.

Synnovation Therapeutics aims to develop top-tier small molecule therapies targeting validated disease markers. Founded by a team with a proven record in medicinal chemistry, the company's pipeline focuses on precision oncologic targets with the potential to outperform existing treatments in potency, selectivity, and optimized pharmaceutical properties, thereby significantly improving patient outcomes. Their leading project, SNV1521, is undergoing Phase I trials.
