Welcome to our dedicated page for Celcuity news (Ticker: CELC), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Celcuity stock.
Celcuity Inc. (Nasdaq: CELC) is a cutting-edge biotechnology company committed to developing targeted therapies for oncology. The company's proprietary functional cellular analysis platform offers a unique approach to personalized medicine by assessing the functionality of disease-related signaling pathways directly from a patient's diseased cells ex vivo. This innovative technology provides specific insights into how effectively a drug therapy impacts a patient's tumor cells, thereby transforming the treatment paradigm.
Celcuity's lead therapeutic candidate is gedatolisib, a potent, reversible dual inhibitor that targets all Class I PI3K isoforms and mTOR. Gedatolisib exhibits a highly differentiated mechanism of action and pharmacokinetic properties compared to other approved and investigational therapies that focus on PI3K or mTOR pathways individually or together. The company is actively pursuing multiple clinical trials to explore the efficacy of gedatolisib in various oncology indications.
Currently, Celcuity is enrolling patients for its Phase 3 VIKTORIA-1 clinical trial, which evaluates gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant with or without palbociclib in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer. The Phase 1b/2 clinical trial (CELC-G-201) is assessing gedatolisib in combination with darolutamide for treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
In recent preclinical studies, gedatolisib has been shown to be more effective than single node PAM inhibitors in controlling crucial cellular functions necessary for cancer cell survival and proliferation. These promising results underline the potential of gedatolisib as a transformative treatment option for multiple solid tumor indications.
Celcuity has also announced the initiation of the Phase 3 VIKTORIA-2 clinical trial, which will evaluate gedatolisib plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor and fulvestrant as a first-line treatment for HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer in patients who are endocrine therapy resistant. The trial is expected to start enrolling patients in the second quarter of 2025 and aims to add significant value to existing treatment protocols.
Celcuity's financial health is robust, supported by recent equity placements and a substantial debt facility agreement, which provides adequate capital to fund their operational activities into 2026. Further information about Celcuity, its pipeline, and ongoing clinical trials can be found on their official website.
