About SNX-5422
SNX-5422 is a chemically unique, orally active Hsp90 inhibitor that has provided durable clinical responses in open label trials in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and neuroendocrine tumors (NET). The potential of SNX-5422 in hematologic cancers is currently being explored in a chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) open label clinical trial (clinicaltrials.gov ID#NCT02973399). With approximately 200 patients treated to date, SNX-5422 has a well-established safety profile that supports studying it in combination with existing approved drugs in a variety of clinical settings.

Our lead program, SNX-5422, has shown durable clinical responses in rationally-designed combination studies in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine tumors. We are also advancing SNX-5422 in select hematological tumors, including CLL. www.esanexpharma.com
