From Sept 2018…..
Dr Tim Mitchell, CEO of Sareum, commented: “TYK2 and JAK1 have emerged in recent years as important targets for new drugs with potential to treat a broad range of autoimmune diseases. This has naturally led to some serious interest from the major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Celgene having their own clinical and preclinical programmes in this area. With SDC-1801, we believe we are entering this space with a strong candidate that exhibits potentially best-in-class features. We intend to focus our resources on advancing SDC-1801 through preclinical development and into clinical trials over the next 18 months. At the same time, we will continue our discussions with potential licence partners for this exciting drug candidate.”
Sareum has an ongoing co-development agreement with SRI International (Menlo Park, CA, USA) to develop TYK2 inhibitors in autoimmune diseases. Sareum retains commercialisation rights for these and other TYK2 inhibitors with profiles optimised for oncology indications.
