Decoding Cancer Plasticity.
Defeating Therapy Resistance.

Kembi Therapeutics is pioneering a new class of oncology therapies targeting the biological mechanisms that allow cancer to escape treatment. Our work enables prevention and reversal of previously intractable therapy resistance across all tumour types.

Kembi Therapeutics Reports Positive Interim Data from Lead Clinical Program

24 April 2026

Kembi Therapeutics has reported positive interim results from the 4CAST clinical trial, testing whether blocking cancer cell plasticity can prevent chemotherapy resistance in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

Early Clinical Signal:

67% objective response rate (4 of 6 patients)

The Science

Why Plasticity?

Most oncology therapeutic approaches fight cancer after it has already adapted. We go further upstream.

The Plasticity Problem

Cancer doesn't fail treatment by chance. It adapts. Cellular plasticity (the ability of cells to change states) allows tumour cells to shift identity, evade targeted therapies, and seed resistant disease. This is the central unsolved problem in oncology.

Our Approach

We directly target the plasticity machinery: the signals that enable cancer cells to change. By intervening at the source of adaptability, we aim to prevent resistance before it begins.

Mechanism focus

Pan-tumour platform Prevent cell state switching Prevent therapy resistance

Clinical Stage

Phase 2 mTNBC

Our lead compound KMB-464 (seviteronel) is currently in Phase 2 clinical trial for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

Platform

Pan-Tumour

Our identified plasticity mechanisms are conserved across multiple cancer types, giving Kembi a broad platform applicable beyond a single indication.
