Clinical Trials

Multiple Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of CXD101, both as monotherapy and combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors, across malignancies including advanced cancer, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and colorectal, pancreatic, and hepatocellular carcinomas. Sponsored by academic institutions and pharmaceutical entities—such as Oxford University, University College London, Celleron Therapeutics, and Merck Sharp & Dohme—these studies report statuses of completed, active not recruiting, withdrawn, and unknown.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

CXD101 selectively binds and inhibits class I histone deacetylases, specifically HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC3 with IC50 values of 63 nM, 570 nM, and 550 nM, respectively, thereby blocking histone deacetylation and inducing chromatin hyperacetylation. This biochemical block alters gene expression to trigger cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, ultimately suppressing tumor growth across clinically evaluated indications including advanced solid tumors, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, colorectal cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards

Quality Dimension RUO (Research Use Only) cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice)
Clinical Applicability Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies.
Regulatory Status Non-regulated grade; exempt from drug manufacturing laws. Legally enforced by health authorities (e.g., FDA, EMA, NMPA).
Facility Environment Unclassified analytical or research laboratories. Validated Cleanrooms (ISO Class 5–8) with continuous monitoring.
Quality Control Basic purity and activity testing. Rigorous safety release testing (Sterility, Endotoxin, Mycoplasma).
Process Validation Basic equipment calibration; no process validation required. Full qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) and complete batch records.
Quality Assurance Vendor self-declared without required formal QMS. Mandatory QA/QC unit, Change Control, CAPA, and vendor audits.
Regulatory Impact High risk of IND rejection if used as a critical raw material. Required for IND/NDA filings, supported by Drug Master Files (DMF).
