VVD-214/RO7589831
VVD-214/RO7589831 is an oral covalent, reversible, and allosteric inhibitor of WRN helicase discovered by the San Diego-based biotech Vividion Therapeutics and being developed by Roche for tumors marked by microsatellite instability and/or mismatch repair deficiency. Vividion has utilized its chemoproteomics platform to discover and develop novel treatment options for oncology targets. The structure and initial preclinical pharmacology data for VVD-214 were recently disclosed at the AACR Annual Meeting 2024 in San Diego. VVD-214 is currently being evaluated in a Ph. I trial.
NDI-101150
NDI-101150 is an oral HPK1 inhibitor discovered by Nimbus Therapeutics and is currently in Ph. I/II clinical trial in advanced solid tumors. HPK1 is a compelling immuno-oncology target due to its critical role in regulating T-cells, B-cells, and dendritic cell-mediated immune responses. HPK1-deficient mice demonstrate enhanced anti-tumor T-cell responses and resistance to tumor growth. In this article, we detail the discovery of NDI-101150, as highlighted by Nimbus at the ACS Fall 2024 First-Time Disclosures session, interim results from the clinic, and more.
BMS-986397
BMS-986397 is a potential first-in-class CRBN-based selective CK1α molecular glue degrader. CK1α promotes tumor growth by enhancing MDM2 and MDMX degradation of the tumor suppressor p53. Since AML has a low TP53 mutation rate, activating the p53 pathway is a promising approach; however, p53 activators have faced challenges due to hematological toxicities. Targeting CK1α degradation offers an alternative approach. The BMS team sought to develop a CELMoD® for CK1α degradation. This article outlines the discovery of BMS-986397, as presented at the ACS Fall 2024 meeting in Denver, CO.
STX-478
STX-478 is a wild-type-sparing, oral, CNS-penetrant, novel allosteric inhibitor of mutant PI3Kα (phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase α) targeting a cryptic pocket near the ATP-binding site. PI3Kα plays a central role in many cancers, and has been recently highlighted in coverage of 2021 Molecule of the Year nominee and PI3Kα degrader inavolisib. Currently approved PI3Kα modulators are limited by their off-target activities on WT PI3Kα and other kinases, leading to significant side effects including hyperglycemia and rash.
RLY-2608
RLY-2608 is an oral, mutant-selective PI3Kα allosteric inhibitor from Relay Therapeutics. Current FDA-approved PI3Kα modulator (alpelisib) and a clinically advanced molecule (inavolisib) are limited by their off-target toxicities associated with the inhibition of WT PI3Kα, leading to hyperglycemia and rash. RLY-2608 is currently in a Ph. I as a single agent and in combination with fulvestrant for HR+/HER2- breast cancer treatment. This article reviews the discovery of RLY-2608, its mechanism of mutant selectivity, how it compares to other molecules, recent clinical developments, and more.
