Inhibition of IRAK4-L activity with emavusertib (CA-4948) blocks leukemic growth in non-clinical experiments. Because IRAK4’s plays a central role in this pathway it is considered an attractive target for generation of therapeutics to treat these B-cell malignancies as well as certain inflammatory diseases.

2022年6月2日 · Background: CA-4948 is a novel oral inhibitor of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) and FLT3. IRAK4 is critical in triggering inflammation, oncogenesis, and survival of cancer cells.

CA-4948 is a small molecule inhibitor of IRAK4 kinase that modulates the TLR and IL-1R signaling cascades. CA-4948 is being developed as a novel agent for the treatment of hematologic cancers with dysregulated IRAK4 signaling and is currently in a Ph1 trial for R/R NHL (clinicaltrials.gov NCT03328078). In preclinical studies, CA-4948 demonstrates

Small molecule potent IRAK4 inhibitors from a novel bicyclic heterocycle class were designed and synthesized based on hits identified from Aurigene’s compound library. The advanced lead compound, CA-4948, demonstrated good cellular activity in ABC DLBCL and AML cell lines.

2024年5月29日 · A phase 1 single-arm, open-label study of emavusertib (CA-4948) in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax in patients (pts) with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in complete response (CR) with measurable residual disease (MRD).. JCO …

Emavusertib (CA-4948) is a selective, potent and orally active IRAK4/FLT3 inhibitor. Emavusertib has an IC50 of 57 nM for IRAK4 in a FRET kinase assay. Emavusertib shows anti-tumor activity.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of CA-4948 when given together with fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) plus bevacizumab in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary …

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of emavusertib (CA-4948) in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in treating patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable).

2020年11月5日 · CA-4948 is the first clinical candidate targeting IRAK4 to be evaluated in cancer patients. Here we present Phase I results of CA-4948 in patients with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies. Method. CA-4948-101 is a phase I trial dose escalation trial with a …

2023年11月2日 · Internal tandem duplication (ITD) of FLT3 is considered an acquired late-event mutation and is associated with a poor prognosis in AML. Emavusertib is a potent oral inhibitor of IRAK4 and FLT3, conferring potential efficacy advantages …
