Targeting Cancer at the Source of the Disease

About us

At Sapience, we think boldly about the possibilities for treating cancer. We aim to discover and develop peptide therapeutics to address oncogenic and immunogenic dysregulation that drive cancer. Our pipeline of SPEARs™ (Stabilized Peptides Engineered Against Regulation) disrupt intracellular protein-protein interactions, enabling targeting of transcription factors which have traditionally been considered undruggable. We are advancing our lead programs, ST316, a first-in-class antagonist of β-catenin, and ST101, a first-in-class antagonist of C/EBPβ, through Phase 1-2 clinical trials. Please engage with us on this platform to learn more!

  • Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer death in the United States. In 2024, CRC is expected to cause more than 53,000 deaths. Sapience Therapeutics, Inc.’s first-in-class β-catenin antagonist, ST316, selectively targets the Wnt pathway, which drives more than 80% of CRCs. We are pleased to announce that we have begun enrolling CRC patients in a Phase 2 Dose Expansion Study across lines of treatment in combination with standard of care.

  • With a favorable safety and tolerability profile and robust pre-clinical data, Sapience Therapeutics, Inc. is committed to maximizing the potential of ST316 in colorectal cancer in various therapeutic combinations across multiple lines of treatment. We are excited to have enrolled the first patient in the Phase 2 expansion study and look forward to its continued recruitment.

  • #BreakingNews: The first patient has been enrolled in our Phase 2 expansion study evaluating ST316, our first-in-class antagonist of β-catenin (NCT05848739). ST316 selectively shuts down the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in tumor cells but not in normal cells, allowing for anti-cancer activity without the toxicity related to broad inhibition of this pathway. The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is one of the most active pathways in several cancers and drives more than 80% of colorectal cancers – the first indication to be assessed in our Phase 2 expansion study.

  • Each year, on the third Wednesday of July, the National Brain Tumor Society sponsors #GBMday to recognize the impact of this devastating disease and highlight the national need to advance research, raise awareness, and take action to ultimately cure #glioblastoma. At Sapience Therapeutics, Inc., our Phase 2 study of ST101 is being tested in three cohorts of patients with recurrent and newly diagnosed GBM. We are committed to advancing therapies for patients with this complex, treatment-resistant, and deadliest form of #braincancer.

    We are pleased to announce that patient enrollment is complete in the Phase 1 portion of our ST316 Phase 1-2 clinical study! Recruitment of the Phase 2 expansion portion will begin in the coming weeks.   ST316 selectively targets the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway in tumor cells but not in normal cells, reducing the toxicity related to inhibition of this pathway. The WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway is one of the most active pathways in several cancers and drives more than 80% of colorectal cancers – the first indication to be assessed in Phase 2. We are incredibly proud of the execution by our clinical team in achieving this milestone according to planned timelines. We send heartfelt thanks for the contribution of all participants in this study and the support of our clinical collaborators at each site. #Colorectalcancer #ClinicalTrials #Oncology #DrugDevelopment
