Selective inhibition of Werner syndrome helicase (WRN) has been shown to trigger extensive DNA damage and cell death specifically in microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) cancers, highlighting WRN as a tumor-selective target with potential for precision oncology approaches beyond immunotherapy. Researchers from Eikon Therapeutics Inc. presented the preclinical profile of EIK-1005, a WRN inhibitor.
Recent evidence has pointed toward Werner syndrome helicase (WRN) as an attractive target for the management of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors, including colorectal, gastric and endometrial cancer mainly.
