C4 Therapeutics Inc. has entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Merck KGaA to discover two targeted protein degraders against critical oncogenic proteins.
C4 Therapeutics Inc. has divulged proteolysis targeting chimeric (PROTAC) compounds comprising a protein cereblon (CRBN) binding moiety covalently bound to a probable global transcription activator SNF2L2 (SMARCA2; BAF190B; SNF2-α)-targeting moiety through a linker.
Degrader-antibody conjugates (DACs) are at the heart of the new deal between C4 Therapeutics Inc. and Merck & Co. Inc. C4 will get $10 million up front, milestones that could total $600 million and about $2.5 billion across the entire collaboration.
The FDA has cleared C4 Therapeutics Inc.’s IND application for CFT-8919, an orally bioavailable Bidac (bifunctional degradation activating compound) degrader designed to be potent and selective against EGFR L858R for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
In a deal potentially worth $392 million, C4 Therapeutics Inc. signed with Betta Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. to develop and market an orally bioavailable BiDAC degrader for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The B-raf kinase (BRAF oncogene) controls cell proliferation and survival through the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. By contrast, constitutively activated mutated BRAF causes uncontrolled tumorigenesis while small-molecule inhibition arrests growth to cause tumor regression.
Biogen Inc. and C4 Therapeutics Inc. have synthesized proteolysis targeting chimeric (PROTAC) compounds comprising cereblon (CRBN) ligands covalently linked to an IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK-4)-targeting moiety through a linker.
Biogen Inc. and C4 Therapeutics Inc. have patented proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety coupled to interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK-4)-targeting moiety through a linker acting as IRAK-4 degradation inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, inflammation, autoimmune and metabolic diseases, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis, among others.
Biogen Inc. and C4 Therapeutics Inc. have disclosed proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a degradation signaling moiety such as E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently linked to a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK)-targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma, multiple sclerosis, atopic dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
