Abstract LB179: Identification of the highly potent and orally available ER-targeting PROTAC degrader HP568 for the treatment of breast cancer
Cancer Research(2024)
Abstract
Abstract Breast cancer remains an unmet medical need. It has become the most occurring and deadliest cancer for women globally. Estrogen receptor (ER) is expressed in 75% of breast cancers and has the key role in tumorigenesis and progression of ER+ breast cancers. Endocrine treatments that target ER are the mainstay therapies for the ER+ breast cancers, yet drug resistance unavoidably develops due to mutations in the ER gene. The ER-targeting proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) degrader is an emerging new modality that interrupts the ER signaling through degradation of ER and offers unprecedented potential for solving the endocrine resistance. We have discovered HP568, an ER-targeting PROTAC that is highly potent against both the wild-type ER and ER mutants. HP568 has a favorable ADME profile that is superior to known competitor ER-targeting PROTAC. In the head-to-head comparison efficacy studies, HP568 has demonstrated the dose-dependent and superior efficacy that is well consistent with the drug exposure profile and PD biomarkers. HP568 also shows a synergetic effect in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. HP568 is clean in the secondary pharmacology profiling, and well tolerated in animal tox studies. HP568 is under the preclinical development and has the potential to be the best-in-class ER-targeting degrader. HP568 structure will not be disclosed.
