The presentation on SY-1365 will highlight data showing that alterations in the RB pathway are predictive of response to SY-1365 in patient-derived xenograft models of high-grade serous ovarian cancer, supporting exploration of RB alterations as potential biomarkers of response to SY-1365. The presentation on SY-5609 will describe in vitro and in vivo data on the selectivity, potency and anti-tumor activity of SY-5609 that supported its advancement into investigational new drug application (IND)-enabling preclinical studies.
