AI-driven drug discovery firm Expert Systems has reached a key milestone in collaboration with Eilean Therapeutics, having completed a Phase 1 clinical trial for lomonitinib, a targeted pan-FLT3/IRAK4 inhibitor. The trial showed the drug had a strong safety profile with no major side effects at effective doses, making it a promising candidate for treating FLT3-mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The company has also initiated a multiple ascending dose Phase 1 study, showcasing the rapid progression of lomonitinib from concept to clinical testing within a three-year timeframe.
Lomonitinib is designed to inhibit FLT3 mutations, which are common in AML, and overcome resistance mechanisms that current FLT3 inhibitors face. The drug has shown potential in blocking both the "gatekeeper" mutation and the IRAK4 escape pathway, offering hope for patients with resistant forms of the disease.
