About NMS-01940153E (NMS-153)
Primary liver cancer is the sixth most common neoplasm and among the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. HCC constitutes 80-90% of all primary liver cancers. Its incidence is increasing and will soon surpass one million annual cases worldwide. Most HCC cases are diagnosed at advanced stages and despite the recent approval of new therapeutic agents such as checkpoint inhibitors, there is a high unmet medical need.
NMS-153 is a highly potent and selective inhibitor of the MPS1 kinase, which is a mitotic regulator frequently overexpressed and activated in cancer. NMS-153 showed a broad preclinical activity in different tumor types, including HCC.
MPSA-153-001 is a Phase I/II study of NMS-153 administered as single agent in treatment experienced, unresectable HCC patients. The trial is currently open for enrollment
