OKUR News & Events

"During the first quarter, we sharpened our strategic focus on advancing our next generation PI3Kalpha pan-mutant selective inhibitor programs, which we believe represent the most compelling opportunity to deliver differentiated therapies across PI3Kalpha-driven diseases," said Nicholas Saccomano, President and Chief Executive Officer of OnKure. "Building on insights gained from our earlier clinical and translational work, we have advanced two highly selective pan-mutant development candidates that were purpose designed to achieve robust target coverage while avoiding class limiting toxicities. As we move forward with OKI-355 in vascular anomalies and OKI-345 in breast cancer, our focus is on translating the strengths of our chemistry platform and deep understanding of PI3Kalpha biology into programs with the potential to deliver meaningful, differentiated, and durable benefit to patients."
