Sanofi to advance Kymera’s next-gen oral IRAK4 degrader KT-485 into clinical testing and will not advance KT-474
“Sanofi’s intention to advance KT-485 into clinical testing and to direct all collaboration resources to the next-generation IRAK4 degrader is a reflection of the molecule’s compelling preclinical profile and of Sanofi’s and Kymera’s commitment to transform immunology treatment paradigms. Both companies have a strong belief in and commitment to targeting the IRAK4 pathway with degraders that are functionally differentiated from small molecule inhibitors, and to bringing forward the best oral medicines to patients living with immunological diseases,” commented Nello Mainolfi, PhD, Founder, President and CEO, Kymera Therapeutics. “In preclinical testing, KT-485 demonstrated an improved target product profile as compared to KT-474. With greater potency and selectivity and a generally improved overall profile, KT-485 is best-positioned to capitalize on the significant potential of IRAK4 degradation.”
