PHILADELPHIA --(July 11, 2017)-- Researchers at The Wistar Institute, an international leader in biomedical research in the fields of cancer, immunology and infectious diseases, with collaborators at Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center and Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (Nasdaq: SNDX) announce the results of a preclinical study demonstrating that entinostat, Syndax's oral, Class - I histone deacetylase inhibitor, enhances the antitumor effect of PD - 1 (programmed death receptor - 1) blockade through the inhibition of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs).

In this study, published in the journal Cell Reports, and led by Dr. Esteban Ballestar (IDIBELL), the comparison of the epigenetic profiles between dendritic cells and myeloid - derived suppressor cells has allowed them to identify the existence of specific epigenetic alterations that associated with the development of myeloid - derived suppressor cells as a result of exposure to prostaglandin E2.

(«Syndax,» the «Company» or «we»)(Nasdaq: SNDX), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing entinostat and SNDX - 6352 in multiple cancer indications, in collaboration with The Wistar Institute and Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center, today announced the publication of a preclinical report demonstrating that entinostat, Syndax's oral, Class - I histone deacetylase inhibitor, enhances the antitumor effect of PD - 1 (programmed death receptor - 1) blockade through the inhibition of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs).

The cells, called myeloid - derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), are found abundantly in the microenvironment around tumors.

Activation of these receptors led to a «massive mobilisation» of myeloid - derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which play a crucial role in lowering the immune system response back down to normal levels (European Journal of Immunology, DOI: 10.1002 / eji.201040667).
