Preclinical Development of the Orally Bioavailable Small Molecule RSK inhibitor PMD-026 for the Treatment of Cancer

FY 2018-19 · 2018-04-01

Summary
Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) are one of the most difficult cancers to treat, as they lack the common receptor targets for current breast cancer chemotherapies. TNBC represents 15-25% of all breast cancers, and RSK represents a novel target for TNBC. PMD-026 is a first-in-class RSK inhibitor, and the proposed Project will assess pre-clinical safety of this lead compound in relevant animal models and investigate potential drug-drug interactions, in anticipation of IND submission and human trials.

Description (French)
Les cancers du sein triple-négatif (TNBC) sont l'un des cancers les plus difficiles à traiter, car ils n'ont pas les cibles du récepteur communes pour les chimiothérapies du cancer du sein. TNBC représente de 15 à 25 % de tous les cancers du sein, et RSK représente une nouvelle cible pour TNBC. PMD-026 est un inhibiteur de première classe RSK, et le projet proposé évaluera la sécurité préclinique de ce composé de plomb dans les modèles animaux et étudiera les interactions médicamenteuses possibles, en prévision de soumission IND et les essais humains.
