Updated Phase 1 Clinical Trial Monotherapy Data for IDE196 in Metastatic Uveal Melanoma to be Presented at AACR Conference
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc., an oncology-focused precision medicine company committed to the discovery and development of targeted therapeutics to treat cancer, announced that Novartis will present a poster with data from an ongoing clinical trial evaluating the tolerability and preliminary clinical activity of IDE196 as a potential monotherapy in metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM).
IDE196, coded LXS196 by Novartis, is a potent small molecule protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor which IDEAYA plans to develop for the treatment of cancers with GNAQ and GNA11 mutations. Notably, approximately 90% of metastatic uveal melanoma patients harbor activating mutations in GNA11 or GNAQ.
Novartis is conducting an ongoing Ph1 clinical trial, entitled "A Phase I, multi-center, open-label, study of LXS196, an oral protein kinase C inhibitor, in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma" (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02601378). In the ongoing trial, IDE196 is being studied as a single-agent and in combination therapy with HDM201, Novartis' human double minute 2 (HDM2) inhibitor, an important negative regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor.
The IDE196 poster will be presented on April 1, 2019 as follows:
Session Title: Phase I Clinical Trials: Part 2
Session Date and Time: Monday Apr 1, 2019 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Session Location: Georgia World Congress Center, Exhibit Hall B, Poster Section 17
Poster Board Number: 25
IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. has an exclusive license from Novartis for further clinical development of IDE196, together with unrestricted rights to commercialize worldwide.
