About Constellation Pharmaceuticals

Constellation Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company using its expertise in epigenetics to discover and develop novel therapeutics that address serious unmet medical needs in patients with cancers associated with abnormal gene expression or drug resistance. With a decade of experience in the field, the Company has a deep understanding of how epigenetic regulators modulate gene expression in cancer cells and in the tumor and immune microenvironment. Constellation is translating these insights to advance the Company’s two lead clinical programs, the EZH2 inhibitor CPI-1205 for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and solid tumors and the BET inhibitor CPI-0610 for myelofibrosis, and to explore other novel targets for which cancer epigenetics may enhance outcomes over currently available treatment options.
