KIN-2787, Kinnate’s most advanced product candidate, is an orally available small molecule pan-RAF inhibitor being developed for the treatment of patients with lung cancer, melanoma, and other solid tumors. Unlike currently available treatments that target only Class I BRAF kinase mutations, Kinnate has designed KIN-2787 to target Class II and Class III BRAF alterations, where it has the potential to be a first-line targeted therapy, in addition to covering Class I BRAF mutations.
"We are looking forward to sharing additional details of the KN-8701 trial which is actively recruiting at the first three centers in the United States with additional centers planned to activate soon," said Richard Williams, MBBS, Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of Kinnate. "The first patient in this trial commenced treatment at Sarah Cannon Research Institute at Tennessee Oncology and we appreciate their ongoing collaboration in this important clinical trial of KIN-2787."
The poster (#P226), titled "Design and rationale of a first in human (FIH) Phase 1/1b study evaluating KIN-2787, a potent and highly selective pan-RAF inhibitor, in adult patients with BRAF mutation positive solid tumors," will be delivered by co-investigator Meredith McKean, MD, MPH, Associate Director, Melanoma and Skin Cancer Research Program, Sarah Cannon Research Institute at Tennessee Oncology.
