Forward guidance

Curis expects that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments should enable it to maintain its planned operations through the second quarter of 2021.

Tailwinds

  • Declare the recommended Phase 2 dose for CA-4948 in the ongoing lymphoma Phase 1 study and report updated efficacy data from the study later this quarter.
  • Report initial data later this quarter from the Phase 1 study of CA-4948 in patients with AML/MDS, including patients with spliceosome mutations that encode oncogenic IRAK4-L.
  • Continue enrollment in Phase 1a/1b dose escalation study of CI-8993 in patients with relapsed / refractory solid tumors.
  • Initiate Phase 1 study of CA-4948 in combination with ibrutinib.
  • Extended cash runway through the second quarter of 2021, as a result of aggregate proceeds of approximately $10.0M since June 30, 2020 from the Company's at-the-market sales agreement with JonesTrading and stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital.

Headwinds

  • Curis may experience adverse results, delays and/or failures in its drug development programs and may not be able to successfully advance the development of its drug candidates in the time frames it projects, if at all.
  • Curis's drug candidates may cause unexpected toxicities, fail to demonstrate sufficient safety and efficacy in clinical studies and/or may never achieve the requisite regulatory approvals needed for commercialization.
  • Favorable results seen in preclinical studies and early clinical trials of Curis's drug candidates may not be replicated in later trials.
  • Curis faces risks relating to the transfer and encumbrance of certain royalty and royalty-related payments on commercial sales of Erivedge, including the risk that, in the event of a default by Curis or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Curis could lose all retained rights to future royalty and royalty-related payments
  • The COVID-19 pandemic may result in closures of third party facilities, impact enrollment in Curis's ongoing or planned clinical trials or impact sales of Erivedge by Genentech and/or Roche.
