About NMS-03602173 (NMS-173)
NMS-173 is a second generation potent, covalent, selective, and orally available investigational new drug for the treatment of cancer patients with mutated IDH1 or IDH2. IDH1 and IDH2 mutations confer to these enzymes a neomorphic activity promoting the conversion of α-KG into 2-HG, an oncometabolite that induces a global epigenetic rewiring, leading to de-differentiation, stemness and tumorigenesis. NMS-173 potently inhibits mutant IDH1 and IDH2 thus resulting in the abrogation of 2-HG production in a variety of cells and in a number of in vivo mouse models including IDH mutant cholangiocarcinoma, glioma and AML models, with significant tumor growth inhibition and anti-tumor efficacy superior to FDA approved first generation inhibitors. Due to its covalent MOA, NMS-173 has high potential of sustained clinical responses compared to FDA approved drugs and can also potentially overcome resistance mechanisms to first generation IDH inhibitors. Notably, NMS-173 has received authorization to start phase I clinical studies in US and Europe in patients with IDH1 or IDH2 mutated solid tumors including low grade glioma.
