Incyte Corporation (Nasdaq:INCY) announced today that three scientific posters have been presented at the 30th San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium describing the potential benefits of its selective sheddase inhibitor, INCB7839, in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
INCB7839 is a novel, orally available ADAM metalloprotease inhibitor that is designed to block activation of the epidermal growth factor (EGFR) pathways. Currently approved therapies that target the EGFR pathways have shown promising efficacy in metastatic disease, validating these pathways as targets; however, efficacy may be limited due to the fact that these drugs inhibit only one or two of the four HER receptor pathways. In contrast, the sheddase inhibitor, INCB7839, has the potential to inhibit activation through all four of the HER receptors, resulting in more complete inhibition of these pathways
