Cash position of $87M as of September 2025, with a term loan facility of up to $130M, providing runway into Q1 2027.
Experienced leadership and a renowned scientific advisory board support ongoing development and commercialization.
CAN-2409 in prostate cancer: clinical and commercial outlook
Phase 3 trial in intermediate/high-risk localized prostate cancer (n=745) met primary endpoint, showing a 30% risk reduction in disease recurrence (HR=0.70, p=0.0155) and 38% reduction in prostate cancer-specific recurrence (HR=0.62, p=0.0046).
Significant improvements in PSA nadir rates and pathological complete response at 2 years (80.4% vs 63.6% for placebo, p=0.0015).
Well-tolerated with lower rates of serious adverse events and treatment discontinuation compared to placebo.
Addressable US market estimated at $10–16B, with strong payor support for reimbursement and pricing in line with other prostate cancer therapies.
BLA submission expected in Q4 2026, with comprehensive commercial launch planning and stakeholder engagement underway.
CAN-2409 in pancreatic and lung cancer: clinical data
In borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, phase 2a trial showed median OS of 31.4 months for CAN-2409 vs 12.5 months for control, with 71.4% 24-month survival rate and favorable safety.
In NSCLC patients with inadequate response to ICI, phase 2a trial showed mOS of 24.5 months (all), 21.5 months (progressive disease), and 25.4 months (nonsquamous), all exceeding historical controls.
Systemic antitumor activity observed, including abscopal effects and long-term survival in a significant subset of patients.
Safety profile in both indications was favorable, with most adverse events mild to moderate.
