WATERTOWN, Mass., Dec. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KYMR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing targeted protein degradation to deliver novel small molecule protein degrader medicines, today announced that preclinical data from collaborations for its STAT3 and IRAKIMiD degraders was presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, taking place from December 10 - 13, 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Key Points: 
  • The model was used to evaluate the therapeutic potential of one of Kymera’s potent and selective STAT3 heterobifunctional degraders for targeting this difficult-to-treat hematologic malignancy.
  • A single intravenous infusion of a STAT3 degrader led to substantial reduction in STAT3 levels in lymph node T cells, circulating T cells, and skin-resident T cells.

Codiak Provides Platform-Validating Clinical Update and Data from Phase 1 Trials of exoSTING™ and exoIL-12™

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Codiak BioSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDAK), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering the development of exosome-based therapeutics as a new class of medicines, today announced platform-validating clinical data from Phase 1 trials of exoSTINGTM and exoIL-12™ and plans to advance both candidates into Phase 2 trials. In an open-label Phase 1 trial, exoIL-12 demonstrated a differentiating favorable safety and tolerability profile, with no detectable systemic exposure of IL-12 and no treatment-related adverse events, which has not previously been reported by others with recombinant IL-12. The two patients with cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) who have been treated each received multiple (>20) injections of exoIL-12 and experienced tumor regressions in both injected and non-injected lesions, including a partial response in one patient. In the open-label Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating exoSTING as a single agent in patients with late-stage refractory solid tumors, data across all five dose cohorts showed repeat doses of exoSTING were well-tolerated, demonstrated tumor retention with no systemic exposure of the STING agonist, and in a subset of patients, tumor shrinkage was observed in injected and uninjected lesions.  

Key Points: 
  • We plan to initiate a Phase 2 study of exoSTING in bladder cancer and a Phase 2 study of exoIL-12 in an expanded group of tumor types in the first quarter of 2023.
  • The Phase 1 clinical trial was designed in two parts, with the data from the healthy volunteer portion of the study reported last year .
  • The data support advancing exoSTING into Phase 2 development, particularly in early-stage disease where combination with immunotherapy may lead to enhanced activity.
  • Codiak intends to focus development of exoIL-12 on tumors that have, in previous clinical testing, shown clinical responses to IL-12 used as a monotherapy.
