mRNA degrader REM-422
REM-422 is a first-in-class orally available, small molecule mRNA degrader that targets the pre-mRNA of MYB, a previously undruggable transcription factor known to drive a diverse range of diseases.
Active Trials
Orchestrating New Possibilities in MYB-driven Cancers
Preclinical data with REM-422 demonstrates the importance of addressing the MYB protein as the driver of diseases like adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), a cancer of secretory glands, typically originating in the head and neck region, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). REM-422 has been shown to exhibit anti-tumor activity across a variety of preclinical models in both ACC and AML. Preliminary positive results from the Phase 1 trial of REM-422 in ACC has demonstrated inhibition of MYB mRNA and anti-tumor activity at well-tolerated doses. REM-422 was granted Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA for ACC and AML.
REM-422 acts by promoting myb poison exon inclusion to induce mRNA degradation.
