About CPI-1205

CPI-1205 is an experimental small molecule therapy that is designed to inhibit the enzymatic activity of Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2). The function of EZH2 is to selectively suppress gene expression of several tumor suppressor pathways and pathways that contribute to drug resistance.

About CPI-0610

CPI-0610 is an experimental small-molecule therapy designed to inhibit the expression of several genes involved in cancer and fibrosis, including MYC, BCL2, NF-?B and TGF-ß-induced collagen by binding to a family of proteins known as bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET).

About Constellation Pharmaceuticals

Constellation Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel small-molecule therapies based on its pioneering research in cancer epigenetics. With a decade of experience in the field, the company has an unparalleled understanding of how epigenetic regulators modulate gene expression in cancer cells and in the tumor and immune microenvironment. Constellation is translating these insights to advance the company's two lead clinical programs, CPI-1205 and CPI-0610, and in novel targets for which cancer epigenetics may help overcome resistance mechanisms to currently available treatment options.
