oral, insurmountable, selective CCR6 antagonist Ph. I in HV completed, in Ph. I for ulcerative colitis from directed screening for novel negative allosteric modulators J. Pharm. Exp. Ther., May 4, 2023 Pfizer, Cambridge, MA

PF-07054894 is a potential first-in-class, oral Ph. I clinical candidate targeting the chemokine receptor CCR6 for ulcerative colitis (NCT05549323). Several companies have pursued antibodies and small molecules targeting CCR6 or its endogenous ligand, CCL20 (e.g. GSK3050002) for immunological conditions including other preclinical squaramides (e.g. Galderma, Allergan, ChemoCentryx) and other series (e.g. Takeda), but PF-07054894 appears to be the first selective CCR6 antagonist to enter clinical development.
