Preclinical Development of the Orally Bioavailable Small Molecule RSK inhibitor PMD-026 for the Treatment of Cancer$500Kvalue2018start2019end

Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) are one of the most difficult cancers to treat, as they lack the common receptor targets for current breast cancer chemotherapies. TNBC represents 15-25% of all breast cancers, and RSK represents a novel target for TNBC. PMD-026 is a first-in-class RSK inhibitor, and the proposed Project will assess pre-clinical safety of this lead compound in relevant animal models and investigate potential drug-drug interactions, in anticipation of IND submission and human trials.

Combination treatment development involving orally available small molecule Ribosomal S6 Kinase (RSK) inhibitor PMD-026$482Kvalue2019start2021end

The Firm has identified a lead compound with novel target to be developed into a potential therapeutic for triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC). This project seeks to develop an advanced formulation for delivery, evaluate the performance of the lead in combination therapies and evaluate the ability of the lead compound to overcome resistance in in vitro models (in anticipation of future in vivo studies).
