First Patient Dosed in Ph 1/2 Clinical Trial Evaluating MRT-2359, a GSPT1-directed Molecular Glue Degrader, for Treatment of MYC-driven Tumors
“MYC transcription factors are well-defined drivers of human cancers, and disrupting protein translation has emerged as a promising path to address this highly prevalent disease pathway. Dosing the first patient is a significant milestone in developing MRT-2359 as a therapeutic option for MYC-driven cancers,” said Filip Janku, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of Monte Rosa. “We have designed our Phase 1 trial to move efficiently through dose escalation and, by focusing on tumor types where MYC expression is prevalent, to improve our chances of seeing early signals of clinical activity. We are encouraged by the strong preclinical data and hope that MRT-2359 will make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients.”
