FDA clears IND application for IKS014 in patients with advanced HER2+ solid tumours
Dr Dave Simpson, Chief Executive Officer, Iksuda Therapeutics commented, “The FDA clearance of our IND application for IKS014 represents a significant milestone in our mission to address the critical unmet needs of patients with HER2-positive cancers, particularly those who have exhausted current standard-of-care options. Early clinical data has been extremely encouraging, and we are excited to expand our program to reach more patients. The early efficacy signals that have been observed, particularly in patients that have relapsed after receiving prior treatments of Kadcyla and Enhertu, suggest IKS014 could potentially offer a new treatment option for patients who currently have limited alternatives. We look forward to working with our clinical partners to further evaluate the potential of IKS014.”
