Cogent Biosciences Presents New Preclinical Data Highlighting Potential Best-in-Class Potency and Selectivity of ErbB2 and PI3Kα inhibitor programs at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium
WALTHAM, Mass. and BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cogent Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: COGT), a biotechnology company focused on developing precision therapies for genetically defined diseases, today presented updated preclinical data from its potent, selective and brain penetrant ErbB2 inhibitor program along with initial preclinical data from its newly disclosed H1047R mutant-selective PI3Kα inhibitor discovery program at the 2023 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), taking place December 5-9, 2023 at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. The posters can be found in the ‘Posters and Publications’ portion of the Cogent website.
- “In addition, we are pleased to present initial data on our effort to design a potent H1047R mutant-selective PI3Kα inhibitor.
- The poster presented today shows that CGT4255 demonstrated low nM potency against ErbB2 wild-type and oncogenic ErbB2 mutations with 100-fold selectivity over wild-type-EGFR.
- PI3Kα mutations are highly prevalent in many solid tumors and are present in 36% of all breast cancer patients.
- Additional lead series analogs were also described, highlighting our more recent advances toward increasing selectivity and potency against H1047R mutants.
