Cancer Prevention Pharmaceuticals to Present at the 29th Annual Piper Jaffray Healthcare Conference

CEO to give update on clinical pipeline and lead drug CPP-1X

Cancer Prevention Pharmaceuticals (CPP), a clinical stage biotechnology company, today announced it will give a corporate presentation at the Piper Jaffray 29^th Annual Healthcare Conference on November 28, 7:50-8:10 a.m. ET at the Lotte New York Palace in New York City (Track Seven: Kennedy 2, 4th floor). CPP CEO Jeff Jacob will give an update on the company's pipeline including its lead Phase 3 drug CPP-1X/sul for treatment of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). CPP recently engaged Piper Jaffray to support its anticipated financing activities.

FAP is a rare genetic disease that if left untreated progresses to colorectal cancer in nearly 100% of patients. In June, an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) recommended continuation of the Phase 3 trial following a planned interim futility analysis. In September, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted CPP-1X/sul "fast track" status, potentially speeding regulatory approval and commercialization.

In 2016 CPP signed a collaboration agreement with Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. SCMP that grants Sucampo the sole option to acquire an exclusive license to commercialize CPP-1X/sul in North America. Sucampo recently highlighted CPP-1X/sul during their 2017 R&D Day in New York City.
