About Sunesis Pharmaceuticals
Sunesis is a biopharmaceutical company developing new therapeutics for the treatment of solid and hematologic
cancers. Sunesis has built an experienced cancer drug development organization committed to improving the lives of people with
cancer. The Company is focused on advancing its novel kinase-inhibitor pipeline, with an emphasis on establishing proof of concept
that its oral non-covalent BTK-inhibitor vecabrutinib is effective in ibrutinib-resistant chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Vecabrutinib is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1b/2 study in adults with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and other B-cell
malignancies who have progressed after prior therapies. Beyond the development of vecabrutinib, the Company has two other kinase
inhibitor programs, including the Takeda-partnered pan-RAF inhibitor TAK-580, which is in clinical trials for solid tumors, and
Sunesis’ proprietary preclinical PDK1 inhibitor SNS-510, which is in preclinical development with an IND submission planned in
2019. PDK1 is a master kinase that activates other kinases important to cell growth and survival including members of the
AKT, PKC, RSK and SGK families.
