Prelude Therapeutics presents preclinical data on SMARCA2 and KAT6A degraders at AACR
Prelude Therapeutics Inc
- PRT3789, a selective SMARCA2 degrader in Phase 1/2, shows deep SMARCA2 degradation and high selectivity over SMARCA4.
- KAT6A degraders demonstrate robust anti-cancer activity in preclinical breast and lung cancer models, including complete regressions.
- Prelude's KAT6A degraders show reduced hematologic toxicity compared to dual KAT6A/B inhibitors, potentially improving safety.
- SMARCA2 resynthesis rate is 2-3 times slower than SMARCA4, contributing to broad therapeutic index of PRT3789.
- KAT6A degraders disrupt HAT complex and affect ERα expression, showing activity in ESR1- and PI3Kα-mutant and resistant cells.
