Ikena presents preclinical data for IK-930 with TEAD1 selectivity and wider therapeutic window vs panTEAD
ImageneBio, Inc.
- IK-930 selectively inhibits TEAD1 with equivalent antitumor activity to panTEAD inhibitors but no renal toxicity in monkeys at any tested dose.
- Average urinary protein-to-creatinine ratios and histopathology predicted a therapeutic index <1 for panTEAD vs broad window for IK-930.
- IK-930 plus osimertinib delayed emergence of drug-tolerant persister cells in preclinical EGFR-mutant NSCLC models.
- Phase 1 monotherapy dose escalation ongoing; initial monotherapy clinical data expected in 2H 2023.
- Cash >$155M as of filing; runway into 2025; partnered IK-175 with BMS potentially $50M opt-in fees by early 2024.
