Guest speakers will include:
- Toby M. Maher, MD, PhD, Professor of Clinical Medicine and Director of Interstitial Lung Disease, Keck Medical School of University of Southern California, will present on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and the potential for axatilimab in IPF.
- John D. Crispino, PhD, MBA, Director, Division of Experimental Hematology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, will present on the potential for menin inhibition in myelofibrosis (MF).
- Michael J. Eck, MD, PhD, Professor, Department of Cancer Biology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Professor, Department of Biological Chemistry & Molecular Pharmacology, Harvard Medical School, will present on the development of SNDX-4321 for EGFR-mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Highlighted R&D Day Topics
SNDX-4321, a novel, mutant-selective, allosteric EGFR inhibitor for NSCLC
- SNDX-4321 is an EGFR inhibitor in development for NSCLC patient populations with significant unmet needs, such as those with L858R mutations, CNS metastases, atypical activating mutations, or acquired resistance to current therapies. In contrast to ATP-site directed third and fourth generation EGFR inhibitors, SNDX-4321 is a novel allosteric inhibitor which binds at a pocket adjacent to the ATP site that is only accessible in the presence of L858R and certain other EGFR mutations. The Company expects to submit an investigational new drug (IND) application for SNDX-4321 by the end of 2026 and to initiate a Phase 1 trial in EGFRm NSCLC in 2027. SNDX-4321 is an externally developed molecule that the Company has an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialize. During the R&D Event, the Company will highlight the potential advantages of an allosteric approach in EGFRm NSCLC and the supporting preclinical data.
SNDX-62122, a candidate from the Company’s library of internally developed next-generation menin inhibitors, selected for development in MF
- SNDX-62122 is the first candidate from a library of wholly owned next-generation menin inhibitors that the Company intends to advance into new areas.
- SNDX-62122 is in development for MF, with submission of an IND and initiation of a Phase 1 trial in MF expected in 2027. During the R&D Event, the Company will highlight recently published revumenib preclinical data showing that menin is a novel dependency in proliferative megakaryocytes, major drivers of MF. The Company expects the development of SNDX-62122 to be informed and de-risked by a Phase 1/2 proof-of-principal trial of revumenib in MF that is expected to initiate in the fourth quarter of 2026 with initial clinical data expected in the second half of 2027.
Ongoing late-stage trials of Revuforj® (revumenib) and Niktimvo™(axatilimab-csfr)
- During the R&D event, the Company will highlight its late-stage revumenib and axatilimab programs in newly diagnosed acute leukemia and chronic GVHD, respectively, as well as the Phase 2 trial of axatilimab in IPF that is expected to readout in the fourth quarter of 2026. During the R&D event, Dr. Toby M. Maher will discuss the unmet patient needs, evolving treatment landscape, and the potential for axatilimab’s mechanism in IPF.
