Asset Highlights:
Potential first-in-class Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC) targeting CRLF2/TLSPR in "Ph-like" B-ALL (AM E3-SG3249) demonstrated significant preclinical efficacy, representing a pioneering approach to treating hematologic cancer characterized by poor prognosis and high relapse rates, often affecting adolescents.
Potential best-in-class brain permeable SHP2 allosteric inhibitor (I-1000233) exhibited promising results in preclinical studies, offering a new method of treating patients with RAS-driven malignancies, including challenging brain tumors and metastases.
Carlo Toniatti, MD, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at IRBM, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming presentations: "The AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) meeting presents a unique opportunity for IRBM to share our latest advancements in cancer research with the global scientific community. Our work on the CRLF2/TLSPR targeting ADC and CNS-penetrant SHP2 small molecule inhibitor exemplifies our relentless pursuit of novel therapeutic strategies that can make a significant difference in the lives of patients battling cancer. These developments reflect our deep scientific expertise and innovative spirit, underscoring IRBM’s role as a frontrunner in the integrated drug discovery industry."
The two assets, which have been progressed through the discovery phase within the public-private environment of the National Collection of Chemical Compounds and Screening Center (CNCCS), are a testament to IRBM’s integrated research capabilities, their commitment to advancing science to improve lives, and their pursuit of new and better treatments for cancer.
