Jacobio Completes First Patient Dosage of Aurora A Inhibitor JAB-2485 in U.S.

Jan 8, 2023

BEIJING, SHANGHAI and BOSTON, Jan. 8 2023 -- Jacobio Pharma (1167.HK) announced it has completed first patient dosage of it’s in-house R&D drug candidate Aurora A Inhibitor JAB-2485 in a Phase I/IIa clinical trial for advanced solid tumour patients in U.S.

 

JAB-2485 is a highly selective small molecule Aurora A inhibitor. At present, there is no commercialized Aurora A inhibitor globally. Jacobio's self-developed JAB-2485 is the third Aurora A inhibitor entered [MOU1] into clinical stage in the United States. This clinical trial will be completed independently by the clinical team of Jacobio, marking the further improvement of Jacobio’s global R&D capability.

 

JAB-2485 has good anti-tumor activity. Preclinical data show that JAB-2485 is highly selective at biochemical and cellular levels. The inhibitory activity of Aurora A is one thousand times higher than that of Aurora B, and has potential to benefit patients with small cell lung cancer and triple-negative breast cancer.

 

Relevant studies have shown that Aurora A and SHP2 inhibitors may be one of the therapies to solve the drug resistance of KRAS G12C inhibitors, and is also expected to enhance the anti-tumor effect in combination with BET inhibitors. Jacobio has these three self-developed drugs in clinical stage, including SHP2 inhibitors (JAB-3312, JAB-3068), Aurora A inhibitor (JAB-2485), KRAS G12C inhibitors (JAB-21822), and BET inhibitors(JAB-8263), which has potential to provide more combination therapies to patients.
