CERo Therapeutics (CERO, Financial) has announced a strategic collaboration with the Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI) at Colorado Blood Cancer Institute (CBCI) in Denver, Colorado, to conduct a Phase 1 clinical trial of their investigational drug, CER-1236. This trial targets patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a severe form of blood cancer.
CBCI, recognized as a leader in hematologic cancer care across a seven-state region, will play a pivotal role in this trial. Patient enrollment for the trial is actively underway, and the company anticipates the initial cohort will receive their first doses by June.
Chris Ehrlich, CEO of CERo Therapeutics, has acknowledged CBCI's global reputation in cancer treatment and research, highlighting the institute's involvement as a significant endorsement of CER-1236's promising potential. The company is eager to share updates on enrollment and dosing in the coming months and plans to expand its research endeavors with a focus on solid tumors as well.
