Recludix Pharma Presents Data Demonstrating Oral STAT3 Inhibitors Drive Differentiated Efficacy and Safety in Preclinical Models of Th17 Mediated Skin Inflammation in Oral Plenary Session at SID Annual Meeting

Retrieved on: 
fredag, maj 17, 2024

“These exciting data on our oral STAT3 inhibitors demonstrate that deep STAT3 inhibition has the potential to drive potent efficacy -- such as that seen with clinically validated biologics but with improved convenience as an orally-administered medication, while high selectivity for the downstream STAT3 target may avoid some of the safety concerns observed with JAK and TYK2 inhibitors,” said Ajay Nirula, M.D., Ph.D., executive vice president and head of research and development. “Inhibiting STAT3 could be a favorable and effective approach to treating Th17- and Th1-mediated diseases, such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease.”

Key Points: 
  • -- In a preclinical model of psoriasis, the efficacy of oral small molecule REX-7117 was comparable to an anti-IL-17A biologic
    SAN DIEGO, May 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recludix Pharma, a leader in discovery of inhibitors of challenging targets for inflammatory disease and cancer, presented new data today in an oral plenary presentation at the Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) Annual Meeting titled “Oral selective STAT3 inhibitors demonstrate differentiated efficacy and safety potential in preclinical models of Th17 mediated skin inflammation” (abstract #738).
  • Recludix’s senior vice president of biology, Paul Smith, Ph.D., reviewed preclinical data on the company’s potent, selective, and orally bioavailable small molecule STAT3 inhibitors, including REX-7117.
  • Data demonstrated that REX-7117 achieves deep, durable, and selective STAT3 inhibition and exhibits similar efficacy to biologics targeting IL-17 in in vivo models of plaque psoriasis.
  • Data was also presented that, unlike JAK1/2 and TYK2 inhibitors, REX-7117 does not impair broader immune responses, such as interferon-dependent anti-viral immunity or growth factor signaling critical for hematologic homeostasis.
