At the AACR Special Conference in Cancer Research, Dave H., Chief Scientific Officer of Recursion, shared interim monotherapy dose-escalation data from the Phase 1/2 study (ELUCIDATE) of REC-617, a selective CDK7 inhibitor, in advanced solid tumors. 🔹 The interim Phase 1 clinical data for REC-617 included: ▪️ Dose-linear pharmacokinetics (PK) with rapid absorption and robust pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarker modulation, suggesting substantial target engagement; ▪️ Confirmed partial response (PR) during monotherapy dose-escalation in a patient with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, treated with 4 lines of prior therapy in an advanced setting, with durable response ongoing after more than 6 months of treatment; ▪️ In 4 additional patients, a best response of stable disease (SD) for up to 6 months of treatment. Dr. Hallett noted: “Cell cycle dysregulation and transcriptional 'addiction' are both hallmarks of many aggressive cancers. By inhibiting CDK7, we have the potential to target both mechanisms while fine tuning the therapeutic index.” "These initial findings for REC-617 represent an exciting step forward in the development of CDK7 inhibitors, with a favorable PK/PD profile and a durable confirmed partial response observed in dose escalation in a highly pre-treated patient population," said Najat Khan, PhD, Chief R&D Officer and Chief Commercial Officer. “Designed using our AI-powered OS platform, REC-617 reflects our focus on enhancing the therapeutic index to deliver more effective and safer treatment options for patients. We are eager to continue this momentum in dose escalation and to initiate the next phase of the program next year."
