Rigel Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RIGL) announced that its drug candidate R289 has received Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for treating myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). R289, a dual inhibitor of IRAK1 and IRAK4, is currently in a Phase 1b study evaluating its safety, tolerability, and preliminary activity in patients with lower-risk MDS who haven't responded to previous treatments.
The Orphan Drug designation provides several benefits, including tax credits, FDA fee exemptions, and potential seven-year market exclusivity upon approval. R289 had previously received Fast Track designation for treating patients with previously-treated transfusion-dependent lower-risk MDS.
R289 is a prodrug of R835 that works by blocking inflammatory cytokine production in response to toll-like receptor and interleukin-1 receptor family signaling, which are thought to cause pro-inflammatory conditions in the bone marrow of lower-risk MDS patients.
