Biotheryx's BTX-9341 Clinical Trial Enrollment Completed
Biotheryx, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing cutting-edge treatments for cancer and inflammatory diseases, has announced a significant milestone in its clinical research. As of November 17, 2025, the company has completed the enrollment of participants in its Phase 1a clinical trial of BTX-9341, a novel treatment specifically targeting HR+/HER2- breast cancer patients.
About the Clinical Trial
This Phase 1a trial focuses on the administration of BTX-9341, a potent and selective degrader targeting CDK4/6 proteins, which play a crucial role in the progression of certain cancers, particularly HR+/HER2- breast cancer. Patients enrolled in the trial have previously received CDK4/6 inhibitors and are facing advanced or metastatic disease. The trial began with escalating doses of BTX-9341, initially as a standalone therapy, followed by a combination with fulvestrant.
The primary aims of this clinical trial include assessing the safety and tolerability of BTX-9341, along with evaluating its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. This crucial data will direct the subsequent dosing phases of the trial, where efficacy will be formally evaluated in a dose expansion stage.
Significance of BTX-9341
Dr. Leah Fung, CEO of Biotheryx, emphasized the importance of this trial: "Completing enrollment in the Phase 1a trial for BTX-9341 marks a significant step forward in advancing a very promising first-in-class treatment option for patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer who have received prior CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy." She expressed gratitude towards the patients and investigators who contributed to this clinical endeavor and reaffirmed the company's commitment to improving the quality of life for patients battling this challenging disease.
BTX-9341 stands out due to its innovative approach as a first-in-class oral degrader of CDK4/6. In preclinical studies, BTX-9341 demonstrated distinct advantages over traditional CDK4/6 inhibitors, exhibiting superior degradation of these targets and significant efficacy in preclinical models. This differential mechanism could potentially overcome the resistance issues associated with current inhibitor therapies, providing new hope for patients who have exhausted other treatment options.
Biotheryx's Vision and Future Directions
