Dr Tim Mitchell, CEO of Sareum, commented:
"We close this financial year with growing excitement around the potential for our portfolio of differentiated TYK2/JAK1 inhibitors.
"Our lead programme, SDC-1801, is a TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor which we believe has significant potential for superior efficacy in autoimmune disease compared to oral therapies currently available and in development. We have submitted a Clinical Trial Authorisation (CTA) application to the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and, subject to the required approval, hope to begin clinical trials in healthy volunteers before the end of 2022, with a psoriasis trial planned for 2023. This comes against a background of increased recognition around the potential for the TYK2/JAK1 class, and we have been encouraged by the recent FDA approval of BMS's Sotyktu, the first approved TYK2 therapeutic, and the interest building around the space."
"Our expertise in kinase inhibition, alongside momentum in our translational work, also supports confidence in SDC-1802, our immunotherapy programme targeting cancer. We are working to further define an appropriate patient population for clinical work and look forward to continued progress with this and our other programmes.
"We are pleased to have clarity on SRA737 and to be able to plan the next steps for SRA 737 together with CPF. We continue to believe that SRA737 has great potential for the treatment of cancer, particularly in combination settings."
