CGEM

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a diversified pipeline of targeted oncology and immuno-oncology therapies with transformative potential for cancer patients. Our strategy is to build a pipeline of therapeutic candidates that are uncorrelated across multiple dimensions, with a focus on assets that we believe have novel technology, employ differentiated mechanisms, are in a more advanced stage of development than competing candidates, or have a combination of these attributes. In approximately three and a half years, we have efficiently developed or in-licensed a pipeline of seven distinct programs by leveraging our hub-and-spoke business model.

We continue to prioritize probability of success and capital efficiency. Specifically, before we advance a therapeutic candidate into clinical development, we evaluate its ability to generate an immune system response or to inhibit oncogenic drivers as a single agent. Importantly, we have terminated programs that do not meet our rigorous criteria for advancement and will continue to do so when we believe we can more efficiently allocate our capital. We currently have one clinical-stage targeted oncology candidate in Phase 1/2a development and six preclinical immuno-oncology candidates and programs. We believe our approach will allow us to advance at least one therapeutic candidate into the clinic and one program into IND-enabling studies each year for at least the next several years.

Our lead candidate, CLN-081, is an orally available small molecule designed as a next generation, irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor, or EGFR, inhibitor that is designed to selectively target cells expressing mutant EGFR variants, including EGFR exon 20 insertion, or EGFRex20ins, mutations, with relative sparing of cells expressing wild type EGFR. We are currently evaluating CLN-081 as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC, in adult patients with EGFRex20ins mutations in a Phase 1/2a trial. Our most advanced immuno-oncology therapeutic candidates include CLN-049, a bispecific antibody targeting FLT3 and CD3; and CLN-619, a monoclonal antibody designed to stimulate natural killer, or NK, and T cell responses by engaging a unique target, MICA/B.

We intend to initially develop CLN-049 for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, or AML, and CLN-619 for the treatment of solid tumors. In addition, through our AMBER platform, we are developing CLN-617, a fusion protein combining, in a single agent, two potent antitumor cytokines, interleukin-2, or IL-2, and interleukin-12, or IL-12, fused with a novel collagen-binding domain designed to enable tumor retention for the treatment of solid tumors. Our pipeline includes three additional immuno-oncology programs in the lead optimization stage that we believe have compelling mechanisms of action and potential for clinical development. We currently hold worldwide development and commercialization rights to each of our therapeutic candidates, except for CLN-081 in Japan.
