“Following recent regulatory developments, our reversible non-covalent BTK inhibitor, SNS-062, is the central focus of our development efforts and resources,” said Daniel Swisher, president and chief executive officer of Sunesis. “Data from SNS-062’s preclinical and healthy volunteer studies suggest a unique drug profile for this next-generation BTK inhibitor and the potential to overcome the key resistance mechanism of ibrutinib. SNS-062 has the potential to address this increasingly well-defined and prevalent unmet need in CLL and other B-cell malignancy patients with C481S mutations, and we look forward to dosing the first patient in our Phase 1B/2 study this quarter.”
