Cidara Therapeutics nominates first oncology candidate from Cloudbreak platform

Cidara Therapeutics announced that it has selected its first oncology drug-Fc conjugate, DFC, candidate from the company’s Cloudbreak platform: CBO-212, targeting CD73. "We are excited to start the new year by announcing CBO-212 as our first oncology DFC, marking a significant inflection point for Cidara and our Cloudbreak platform," said Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Cidara. "With our Cloudbreak oncology program we seek to develop a new generation of immunotherapies, and our CBO-212 DFC is a first-in-class CD73 inhibitor that combines the strengths of small molecules and monoclonal antibodies targeting CD73. We look forward to advancing CBO-212 through IND enabling studies and providing updates on its progress in leading conferences as we continue to generate more data."
