[VIRTUAL] KPG-818, a novel cereblon modulator, inhibits hematological malignancies in preclinical models (AACR-II 2020)
The clinical use of lenalidomide in multiple myeloma (MM), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) represents a significant advance in the treatment of hematological malignancies and has altered the landscape of the blood cancer therapy. Importantly, KPG-818 prolongs the survival of the mouse cohorts bearing systemic human H929 multiple myeloma in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, KPG-818 shows favorable DMPK and toxicity profiles in pre-clinical IND enabling studies.In summary, these immune modulation, anti-angiogenesis and antitumor results encourage the further clinical evaluation of KPG-818 in patients with Multiple Myeloma, Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, Follicular Lymphoma, Mantle Cell Lymphoma and other hematological malignancies.
