Cereno Scientific
Cereno Scientific to present preclinical data for drug candidate CS585, a novel IP receptor agonist, at the ESC Congress 2024
The abstract titled “CS585, a novel prostacyclin receptor agonist, demonstrates sustained efficacy in vivo in the prevention of thrombosis”, was co-authored, and will be presented, by Michael Holinstat, Professor at the Department of Pharmacology, the Department of Internal Medicine (Division of Cardiovascular Medicine), and the Department of Vascular Surgery at the University of Michigan. Dr. Holinstat leads Cereno’s development programs at the University of Michigan and is Director of Translational Research at Cereno.

About CS585
Drug candidate CS585 is a highly potent and selective prostacyclin (IP) receptor agonist that has demonstrated the potential to significantly improve disease mechanisms relevant to cardiovascular disease. While CS585 has not yet been assigned a specific indication for clinical development, preclinical data indicates that it could potentially be used in thrombosis prevention without increased risk of bleeding.
A license agreement for drug candidate CS585 with the University of Michigan provides Cereno exclusive rights to further development and commercialization of CS585.
In early November 2023, CS585 was highlighted by top-tier medical journal Blood as a promising novel anti-thrombotic strategy without risk of bleeding.

About Cereno Scientific AB
Cereno Scientific develops innovative treatments for rare and common cardiovascular disease. The lead drug candidate, CS1, is a HDAC (histone deacetylase) inhibitor that acts as an epigenetic modulator with pressure-reducing, reverse-remodeling, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic and anti-thrombotic properties. A Phase II study is ongoing to evaluate CS1’s safety, tolerability, and efficacy in patients with the rare disease pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). A collaboration agreement with global healthcare company Abbott allows Cereno to use their cutting-edge technology CardioMEMS HF System in the study. Two initiatives performed during the ongoing Phase II study have shown positive findings suggesting the potential clinical benefit of CS1 in PAH patients. These initial findings are, however, not a guarantee of the final study results that are expected in Q3 2024. Since January 2024, we are delighted that the FDA´s Expanded Access Program will enable patients with PAH, a serious life-threatening disease condition, to gain access to CS1 where no comparable alternative therapy options are available. Cereno also has two promising preclinical drug candidates in development through research collaborations with the University of Michigan. Investigational drug CS014 is a HDAC inhibitor in development as a treatment for arterial and venous thrombosis prevention. The innovative drug candidate represents a groundbreaking approach to antithrombotic treatment potentially without the associated increased risk of bleeding in humans. CS014 is a new chemical entity with a multi-fold mechanism of action as an epigenetic modulator – regulating platelet activity, fibrinolysis, and clot stability for the prevention of thrombosis without increased risk of bleeding as documented in preclinical studies. In April 2024, Cereno submitted a Clinical Trial Application (CTA) for a Phase I First-in-Human-Study, expected to start during Q2 2024. Drug candidate CS585 is a prostacyclin receptor agonist that has been documented in several preclinical studies to target the IP receptor for prevention of thrombosis without increased risk of bleeding, which also has been recognized in the medical community. CS585 was in-licensed from the University of Michigan in 2023. The company is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, and has a US subsidiary Cereno Scientific Inc. based in Kendall Square in Boston, Massachusetts, US. Cereno is listed on the Nasdaq First North (CRNO B). More information on www.cerenoscientific.com.
