CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foghorn® Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: FHTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering a new class of medicines that treat serious diseases by correcting abnormal gene expression, today announced new preclinical data for potential first-in-class medicines including FHD-909, a BRM (SMARCA2) selective inhibitor, selective CBP degrader, and selective EP300 degrader programs at the 2024 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting. Foghorn management will hold a conference call and webcast today at 5 p.m. ET to review important pipeline updates.

Key Points: 
  • “Notably, our first-in-class BRM selective inhibitor FHD-909 has demonstrated favorable tolerability and encouraging dose-dependent single agent activity in preclinical models of BRG1 mutated tumors.
  • Additionally, we are applying our long-acting formulation capabilities to our degrader programs, which further enhances the clinical potential of these drug candidates.
  • However, the ATPase domains of BRM and BRG1are 92% identical which has made identifying a selective BRM inhibitor challenging.
  • Attempts to selectively inhibit CBP or EP300 individually have been challenging due to the high homology between the two proteins.
