SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Dec. 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDYA), a
precision medicine oncology company committed to the discovery and
development of targeted therapeutics, today announced development
candidate nomination of IDE892, a potential best-in-class
MTA-cooperative PMRT5 inhibitor.
"We continue to expand our precision medicine oncology pipeline
and are excited to nominate our 7th development
candidate in IDE892, a potential best-in-class MTA-cooperative
PMRT5 inhibitor. IDE892 advances our strategic objective to enable
a wholly owned combination between the PRMT5 and MAT2A mechanisms,
to deliver potentially greater efficacy in MTAP-deletion solids
tumors through this rational combination approach," said
Yujiro S. Hata, President and Chief
Executive Officer of IDEAYA Biosciences. "Following extensive
structure-based design and lead optimization, we have achieved our
target product profile for the PRMT5 program with IDE892, including
favorable potency, selectivity, and synergistic combination
potential with MAT2A inhibitor IDE397," said Michael White, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer,
IDEAYA Biosciences.
IDE892 was discovered through IDEAYA's iterative physics-based
ligand design and optimization platform, and is a highly potent and
selective MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor with best-in-class
potential and favorable drug-like properties. IDE892 has
demonstrated exceptionally selective antiproliferative activity in
MTAP-deleted tumor cell models and durable complete responses in
combination with MAT2A inhibitor IDE397 in challenging
MTAP-deletion preclinical models. IND-enabling studies for IDE892
are ongoing to support an Investigational New Drug (IND) filing to
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in mid-2025, subject to
satisfactory completion of ongoing preclinical and IND-enabling
studies.
