Ideaya Biosciences Inc. has submitted an IND application to the FDA for IDE-574, a KAT6/7 dual inhibitor with potential to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and lung adenocarcinoma. A phase I trial of IDE-574 monotherapy is expected to begin in the first quarter of next year.
Ideaya Biosciences Inc. has received IND clearance from the FDA for the initiation of a phase I trial to evaluate IDE-034, a bispecific B7H3/PTK7 TOP1 antibody-drug conjugate.
Positive phase I results in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) from Ideaya Biosciences Inc. and partner Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. with IDE-849, a potentially first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate targeting delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) and topoisomerase 1, sharpened interest in the DLL3 mechanism, which gave Zai Lab Ltd. a phase Ia/Ib win this year in extensive-stage (ES) SCLC.
Compounds acting as histone acetyltransferase KAT6A (MOZ; MYST-3) and KAT7 (HBO-1; MYST-2) inhibitors are reported in an Ideaya Biosciences Inc. patent as potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
In a deal that could reach nearly $2 billion, Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has licensed a small molecule for treating cardiovascular disease to Merck & Co. Inc., dropping the China-based company into a space with lots of competitors in varying stages of development.
In a deal worth up to $1 billion, Ideaya Biosciences Inc. is in-licensing Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd.’s SHR-4849, a phase I DLL3-targeting opo-I-payload antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). Under terms of the deal, San Francisco-based Ideaya will develop and commercialize SHR-4849 worldwide outside of greater China, and Shanghai-based Hengrui is eligible to receive up to $1.04 billion that includes a $75 million up-front fee, $200 million in development and regulatory milestone payments, and commercial success-based milestone payments. Hengrui is also eligible to receive royalties on net sales outside of greater China.
