The online-only e-poster will include data that show Syros’ orally available, selective CDK12 inhibitor has potent single agent activity in vitro and in vivo in multiple cancer models as well as enhanced antitumor effect in combination with DNA damaging agents. These data support Syros’ plans to nominate a development candidate from its CDK12 inhibitor program in the second half of 2022.

Details of the e-poster presentation are as follows:

Presentation Title: An oral and selective CDK12 inhibitor demonstrates robust anti-tumor activity Session Title: Molecular Targets Session Category: Experimental and Molecular Therapeutics Abstract Number: 5393
