Curis, Inc. is a biotechnology company focused on the development of therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. Emavusertib, its lead clinical-stage drug candidate, is an orally available small molecule drug candidate that is designed to inhibit the Interlukin-1 receptor associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) kinase, which is an important transducer of toll-like receptor or certain interleukin receptor signaling pathways. Erivedge is an orally bioavailable small molecule, which is designed to selectively inhibit the Hedgehog signaling pathway by targeting a protein called Smoothened. Its other programs include CI-8993, Fimepinostat, CA-170 and CA-327. CI-8993 is a human IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody directed against the VISTA protein. CA-170 is an oral small molecule drug candidate that is designed to selectively target VISTA and PDL1 immune checkpoint proteins.
