By Connor Hart

Corbus Pharmaceuticals received a fast-track designation from the Food and Drug Administration for its treatment of relapsed or refractory metastatic cervical cancer.

The Norwood, Mass., oncology company on Tuesday said the treatment, CRB-701, is being tested for safety and efficacy in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors known to be associated with high Nectin-4 expression.

CRB-701 targets Nectin-4, which is a cell adhesion protein that is over-expressed in many types of human cancers.

Corbus said it expects to report the first data from the study during the first quarter of 2025.

The FDA's fast-track designation facilitates the development and expedites the review of drugs intended to treat conditions that demonstrate the potential to fill an unmet medical need.
