"Reaching this significant point is a noteworthy achievement for the team at Kurome and our partners, affirming our distinct strategy for addressing AML and MDS, and confirming the readiness of KME-0584 for early phase clinical trials," announced Jan Rosenbaum, Ph.D., the chief executive and science officer of Kurome Therapeutics.

Jan Rosenbaum expressed eagerness to commence the clinical trial, focusing on the novel treatment strategy which aims to disrupt abnormal immune signaling in both AML and high-risk MDS by concurrently inhibiting IRAK1 and IRAK4. This approach aims to enhance treatment outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory diseases who are often hard to treat.

KME-0584 stands out because of its strong activity and specificity as an inhibitor, targeting IRAK1 and IRAK4, and all variations of the FLT3 gene, which contributes to the progression of relapsed/refractory AML or high-risk MDS. Designed for oral use, KME-0584 can be used both as a stand-alone therapy and in combination with other drugs like azacitidine or venetoclax.

The initial phase of the clinical study will investigate the safety profile, tolerability, pharmacological behavior, and therapeutic potential of KME-0584, both as a unique treatment and in drug combinations, for individuals with AML and high-risk MDS. This phase of the trial will progressively increase dosages and will broaden to encompass as many as 100 participants. Kurome Therapeutics is targeting the commencement of this trial for the year 2024, and it is set to take place at several research locations throughout the United States.
