C4 Therapeutics Advances Cemsidomide Trials with 2027 Data Readouts on Horizon
Event summary
- C4 Therapeutics' Phase 2 MOMENTUM trial for cemsidomide in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma is on track to complete enrollment by Q1 2027, with initial ORR data expected in the second half of 2027.
- Phase 1b trial combining cemsidomide with elranatamab continues progress, with dose escalation updates expected in the second half of 2026 and full cohort data by mid-2027.
- New Phase 1b combination trial with standard-of-care therapies (daratumumab and carfilzomib) set to initiate in the first half of 2027.
- C4T secured $33.5 million through its ATM program and a $20 million upfront payment from Roche for a new collaboration on degrader-antibody conjugates (DAC).
The big picture
C4 Therapeutics is advancing its lead candidate, cemsidomide, through critical clinical trials aimed at establishing it as a backbone therapy for multiple myeloma. The company's strategic collaborations with Roche and others underscore the growing interest in targeted protein degradation (TPD) science, which could redefine treatment paradigms for difficult-to-treat cancers. With a strong cash position and upcoming data readouts, C4T is positioning itself to compete in an increasingly crowded oncology market.
What we're watching
- Clinical Milestones
- The pace at which cemsidomide's Phase 2 and combination trials deliver data in 2027 will determine its competitive positioning in the multiple myeloma space.
- Financial Runway
- Whether C4T’s $300.4 million cash position as of Q2 2026 will be sufficient to fund operations through 2028, given ongoing trial expenses and potential expansion costs.
- Strategic Collaborations
- How the Roche partnership on degrader-antibody conjugates (DAC) could expand C4T’s pipeline beyond cemsidomide and diversify its revenue streams.
