Furthermore, the firm is advancing PCS3117, a cytosine analog, which has reached Phase 2B clinical trials for its use in pancreatic cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Another candidate, PCS6422, an oral, potent, selective, and irreversible inhibitor of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, is progressing through Phase 1B clinical trials for metastatic colorectal and breast cancers. In addition, Processa is developing PCS11T, an analog derived from the drugs SN38 and irinotecan, intended for the treatment of diverse cancer types.
