The study takes place at 3 medical centers in the US; part of Accelovance's network of HERO sites dedicated to early phase research in oncology.

About KPG-121
KPG-121 is a novel generation of Lenalidomide. Compared with Lenalidomide, KPG-121 has shown enhanced immunomodulatory activities and improved anti-angiogenic properties in the preclinical studies. Results from in vitro assays and in vivo studies of mCRPC animal xenograft models demonstrated that better efficacy was observed for KPG-121 compared to Lenalidomide, when combined with Enzalutamide, Abiraterone Acetate, Apalutamide or Darolutamide. In the combination studies with Enzalutamide, KPG-121 significantly improved anti-tumor efficacy when compared to Enzalutamide alone.
