Circle Pharma Unveils First Preclinical Data from Cyclin D1 Program at the AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics

On October 23, 2025 Circle Pharma, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering next-generation targeted macrocycle therapeutics for cancer, reported preclinical data related to the company’s cyclin D1 development program at the AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper)-NCI-EORTC AACR-NCI-EORTC (Free AACR-NCI-EORTC Whitepaper) International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics (EORTC-NCI-AACR) (Free ASGCT Whitepaper) (Free EORTC-NCI-AACR Whitepaper). The data highlight the therapeutic potential of Circle Pharma’s first-in-class oral macrocyclic inhibitors to preserve retinoblastoma protein (Rb) tumor-suppressor activity by selectively blocking its interaction with cyclin D1, a key driver of cell cycle progression and proliferation in multiple hematological and solid tumor cancer types.

"Cyclin D1 has long been recognized as a key driver in many cancers, but it has remained an elusive direct therapeutic target," said Marie Evangelista, Ph.D., senior vice president and head of cancer biology at Circle Pharma. "Using our MXMO platform, we have engineered orally bioavailable, cell-permeable macrocycles that selectively inhibit cyclin D1-Rb binding while sparing related isoforms such as cyclin D3—an approach aimed at reducing hematologic toxicities commonly observed with dual CDK4/6 inhibitors. These data mark a significant step forward in developing novel, macrocycle-based therapies for patients with cyclin D1-driven cancers."

"We are excited by the strong selectivity and anti-tumor activity we’re seeing across multiple cyclin D1-driven cancer models including mantle cell lymphoma and ER-positive breast cancer," said David J. Earp, J.D., Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Circle Pharma. "Our approach has the potential to open a new class of therapeutics for patients, including for use in combination with other therapies, and we are on track to declare a development candidate for our cyclin D1 program by end of 2025."

Presentation Highlights:

In cyclin D1-dependent preclinical tumor models, Circle’s oral macrocyclic cyclin D1 RxL inhibitors:

Potently and selectively disrupt the cyclin D1–Rb interaction with >2,000-fold selectivity over cyclin D3–Rb binding, leading to phospho-Rb suppression and G1 cell cycle arrest in cyclin D1-dependant tumor cells.
Demonstrate robust anti-tumor activity in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and ER-positive breast cancer models, including enhanced efficacy in combination with CDK4-selective, CDK4/6-dual, and endocrine therapies.
Show a substantially improved in-vitro hematopoietic safety profile compared to dual CDK4/6 inhibition.
The poster presentation will be made available on the Circle Pharma website at View Source

About Circle Pharma’s Oral Cyclin D1 RxL Inhibitor Program

Cyclin D1 is a regulatory protein that plays a crucial role in cell cycle progression and is overexpressed in many solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. In these cancers, the cyclin D1/CDK4 complex drives cell proliferation by binding to the tumor suppressor retinoblastoma protein (Rb) and promoting its phosphorylation and inactivation. Using its MXMO platform, Circle Pharma has developed oral macrocyclic inhibitors that potently and selectively disrupt the cyclin D1-Rb interaction, demonstrating robust anti-tumor activity in cyclin D1-driven cancers.

"Our preclinical findings have shown potent anti-tumor activity and a favorable toxicity profile supporting our advancement of ALX2004 into the clinic," said Jason Lettmann, Chief Executive Officer at ALX Oncology. "Given that toxicity challenges of earlier generation ADCs have limited the therapeutic window in the treatment of EGFR-expressing solid tumors; we are encouraged by our preclinical data that this unique molecule, ALX2004 could potentially overcome these limitations. Enrollment in this trial began in August and continues to be on track to allow us to deliver initial safety data in the first half of next year. We are pleased to present extensive preclinical data supporting ALX2004’s potential to break new ground in ADC innovation in the EGFR-targeting class at the AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper)-NCI-EORTC Conference."

The Company’s first ADC, ALX2004, is the result of a rigorous internal drug design process. Developed in house by ALX Oncology’s protein engineers utilizing the Company’s proprietary topoisomerase I inhibitor (Top1i) payload and linker payload platform, ALX2004 is designed to optimize all mechanisms of ADC cancer killing while maximizing the therapeutic window. ALX2004 uses a matuzumab-derived EGFR antibody selected to minimize off tumor skin toxicity and maximize therapeutic window, with a binding epitope distinct from U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved EGFR antibodies. Additionally, ALX2004 has a proprietary linker-payload and Top1i payload engineered to offer improved linker stability for on-target delivery of payload and enhanced bystander effect.

ALX2004 is currently being evaluated in a first-in-human, open-label multicenter study in participants with advanced or metastatic select EGFR-expressing solid tumors. The design of this Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT07085091) will also be presented at the meeting.
