BioXcel launches Phase 2 study of BXCL701 in aggressive prostate cancer

BioXcel Therapeutics (BTAI +2.6%) initiates the second portion of its Phase 1b/2 clinical trial evaluating BCXL701, combined with Merck’s Keytruda (pembrolizumab), in patients with treatment-emergent neuroendocrine prostate cancer (an aggressive form).
Preliminary data should be available in Q4.
The company says small molecule BXCL701 is designed to stimulate both the innate and acquired immune systems by inhibiting an enzyme called dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) 8/9 and blocking immune invasion by targeting fibroblast activation protein (FAP).
