inavolisib
Inavolisib is a PI3Kα isoform-selective kinase inhibitor and monovalent degrader of the mutant p110α catalytic subunit of mutant PI3Kα. The molecule selectively depletes mutant p110α in cancer cells with active RTK (receptor tyrosine kinase) signaling and is in several ongoing or planned Ph. III trials for breast cancer. In October 2024, it received FDA approval for use in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant to treat adults with endocrine-resistant, PIK3CA-mutated, HR+/HER2- breast cancer. This article explains how it works, how it was discovered, and why it matters.

NT-0796
NT-0796 is NodThera's pro-drug inhibitor of the NLRP3 inflammasome. NT-0796 is currently in a Ph. Ib/IIa trial in obese individuals at risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. NT-0796 has the potential to reduce neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s disease. The NLRP3 inflammasome has emerged as a hot target due to its connection to Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, gout, and other diseases. Here is a detailed review of the role of NLRP3 inhibition in treating atherosclerosis, how NT-0796 was identified, and what makes it special, clinical development, and more.
