Rigel’s R289 Secures the US FDA’s Fast Track Designation for Treating Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Shots:

  • The US FDA grants Fast Track Designation to R289 in patients with previously-treated transfusion dependent lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (LR-MDS)
  • The P-Ib study is currently assessing the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics & preliminary efficacy of R289 among patients with r/r lower-risk MDS, with recruitment underway
  • R289 (prodrug of R835) is an IRAK1/4 dual inhibitor that works by blocking inflammatory cytokine production in response to TLR and IL-1R signaling. Dysregulation of these pathways contributes to inflammatory conditions
