Anti-Inflammatory Compounds
Celgene is developing novel orally available small molecules that inhibit the production of multiple proinflammatory mediators including interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-12, interferon-gamma, TNF-alpha, leukotrienes, and nitric oxide synthase.
Our lead investigational drug, CC-10004 (apremilast), is being studied in Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of psoriasis and other chronic inflammatory diseases. We successfully completed our early stage studies and found CC-10004 to be safe and well-tolerated. CC-10004, an oral TNF antagonist and anti-inflammatory agent, has demonstrated significant activity and an excellent side effect profile in a placebo controlled proof-of-mechanism trial in psoriasis. With the initiation of additional multi-center trials, we are advancing the clinical development of CC-10004.
CC-11050 is currently in Phase I clinical trials for chronic inflammatory diseases.
