Cann observed:

“Data presented in December 2017 supported development of SY-1365 in triple- negative breast cancer patients and we are encouraged to see the expansion of the phase I study in this setting. We currently do not estimate that SY-1365 will impact revenue by 2022, but believe it could be an important contributor after 2022. The potential addressable patient populations for SY-1365 are large, making SY-1365 very important to Syros. The company has previously reported it plans to open expansion cohorts in mid-2018 in this ongoing phase I trial, which now includes cohorts to further evaluate the safety and anti-tumor activity of SY-1365 as a single agent and in combination with standard-of-care therapies in multiple ovarian and breast cancer populations.”
