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 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)
Most oncology therapeutic approaches fight cancer after it has already adapted. We go further upstream.
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.
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
Clinical Stage
Our lead compound KMB-464 (seviteronel) is currently in Phase 2 clinical trial for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.
Platform
Our identified plasticity mechanisms are conserved across multiple cancer types, giving Kembi a broad platform applicable beyond a single indication.
Built on two decades of research into the molecular drivers of cancer cell plasticity, a field Kembi's founder and CEO helped define.
Phase 2 data in mTNBC with planned expansion into additional indications, backed by a robust translational program.
Plasticity programs are conserved across cancer types. Kembi's discovery pipeline focuses on multiple ways of addressing resistance at its source.
We welcome conversations with aligned partners and investors.
