Curis, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRIS) today announced that preclinical data related to CUDC-305, the company's Heat Shock Protein 90 inhibitor, was published online this week in Clinical Cancer Research. The paper, entitled "CUDC-305, a novel synthetic HSP90 inhibitor with unique pharmacological properties for cancer therapy," will also be published in the print version of this journal shortly.

The publication reports that, in addition to potent antitumor efficacy against a broad range of cancers in preclinical tumor models as both a single agent and in combination, CUDC-305 exhibits promising pharmacological features in several areas, including high oral bioavailability, tumor selectivity, blood-brain barrier penetration, and extended retention of the compound in tumor tissue relative to normal tissue.
