Delphia Therapeutics Launches to Pioneer a New Field of Cancer Medicines based on Activation Lethality platform

“Despite dramatic advances in the understanding and drugging of key driver mutations and oncogenic pathways, cancer remains a tremendous global health challenge, as tumors rapidly develop resistance to targeted therapy in the vast majority of patients,” said Kevin Marks, Ph.D., co-founder, president and CEO of Delphia. “Our activation lethality platform offers the potential for new cancer medicines that are effective on their own while also combating the emergence of resistance to classic targeted therapies. These medicines hold the potential to address significant cancer patient populations and may mark a disruptive paradigm shift in how cancer is treated, leading to more sustained disease control and longer patient survival. We are thrilled to launch Delphia to lead this exciting new area of cancer biology.”

“In the first reported data from the clinical combinations of our PRMT5 inhibitor vopimetostat and RAS(ON) inhibitors, we saw extremely encouraging early results, with 92% of patients with PDAC in the vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib arm achieving an objective response, supporting the preclinical data showing synergistic activity of PRMT5 + RAS

“Non-small cell lung cancer is the most prevalent lung disease with more than 8,000 patients in the U.S. diagnosed each year with KRAS G12D-mutations. Receiving Fast Track designation for VS-7375 reinforces both the significant unmet need and the potential of VS-7375 to improve outcomes for patients with KRAS G12D-mutated lung

“KRAS has notoriously been considered an undruggable target and patients with KRAS-driven cancers continue to face limited treatment options with survival measured in months, not years,” said John Reed, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Innovative Medicine, Research & Development, Johnson & Johnson. “We believe the proprietary Firelink™ platform will overcome
