Claims Cover Cur-61414, a Drug Candidate under Development for Basal Cell Carcinoma

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 23, 2003--CURIS, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRIS - News) - The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office yesterday issued Patent 6,552,016 to Curis covering pharmaceutical preparations containing small molecule compounds that selectively inhibit a biological signaling pathway controlled by a protein called Hedgehog.
Included among the small molecules covered by this patent is CUR-61414, a compound that is under development by CURIS as a treatment for basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of cancer in the United States.

A recent report in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has shown that CUR-61414 can selectively kill tumor cells while not harming adjacent normal cells in two models of basal cell carcinoma. This selectivity contrasts with more traditional cancer treatments that often kill both cancer cells and normal cells.
