We are a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building a global, fully-integrated organization developing important, innovative medicines to address serious unmet medical needs. We are led by world-renowned drug developers Dr. Roger M. Perlmutter, M.D., Ph.D., and Dr. Roy Baynes, M.D., Ph.D. Our vision is to become a generational leader, by purposefully integrating traditional biology research with advanced engineering to develop better medicines faster. Our initial focus is oncology, where we are advancing a pipeline of drug candidates targeting areas of high unmet need in large indications. We believe our product candidates reflect strong scientific and clinical potential and could eventually become critical medicines in the treatment paradigm of various cancers. Our Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Roger M. Perlmutter, M.D., Ph.D., and our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Roy Baynes, M.D., Ph.D., together have a proven track record of identifying, developing, and commercializing some of the most impactful drugs ever brought to market, including pembrolizumab, currently the world’s best-selling oncology therapeutic and arguably the most important anti-neoplastic agent ever introduced into clinical practice. While Drs. Perlmutter and Baynes’ track records do not provide a guarantee of future clinical success, and any products developed by us may not achieve the regulatory or commercial success of products that Drs. Perlmutter and Baynes were previously involved in developing, their experience provides valuable insight and strategic guidance to our drug development efforts. Our broader leadership team consists of former senior leaders at global pharmaceutical companies, who have successfully collaborated across several decades on the discovery, development, and commercialization of over 100 new molecular entities. Our strategy centers around deploying our technology platform, including our proprietary single molecule tracking, or SMT, system, to develop internally-derived novel therapies, while also leveraging the deep expertise of our management team to opportunistically in-license promising assets. Our most advanced product candidate, EIK1001, a toll-like receptor, or TLR, 7/8 dual-agonist, is currently in a global Phase 2/3 registrational trial in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma. This Phase 2/3 trial is designed to proceed to completion, subject to interim analysis by a data monitoring committee, and to form the basis for registration. We are also evaluating EIK1001 in combination with both pembrolizumab and histology appropriate chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC, in a Phase 2 trial, as well as a Phase 2/3 registrational trial for which we recently initiated site selection. We are also conducting Phase 1/2 trials of each of our selective PARP1 inhibitor product candidates, EIK1003 and EIK1004, in ovarian, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers and, specifically with the brain-penetrant candidate EIK1004, to address brain metastases and primary brain malignancies. In addition, we have recently initiated a Phase 1/2 trial in patients with advanced solid tumors for EIK1005, our Werner, or WRN, helicase inhibitor that emerged through internal research using our technology platform, which will ultimately be evaluated for the treatment of patients with microsatellite instability-high, or MSI-high, tumors. We were incorporated in Delaware in July 2019. Our principal executive offices are located in Millbrae, California.
