Iambic Therapeutics today announced it will highlight new preclinical data for IAM1363, a selective and brain-penetrant inhibitor of HER2 signaling for the treatment of HER2-driven cancers, in a poster presentation at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, taking place April 5-10 in San Diego.

The poster presentation will showcase preclinical data illustrating how the unique binding mechanism and potent HER2 activity of IAM1363 overcomes multiple resistance mechanisms and how its strong EGFR avoidance widens the safety margin. IAM1363 potently inhibits both the wild type and mutant forms of HER2, showing over 1000-fold selectivity against EGFR due to a unique binding mode and tumor enhancement not seen with other HER2 inhibitors, leading to exceptional in vivo efficacy and tolerability in various HER2-driven cancer models, including those resistant to existing HER2-targeting agents. IAM1363 is now in a Phase 1 clinical study.
