We’ve come a long way in 12 months…
SDC-1801 has demonstrated excellent tolerability in initial toxicology studies in rodents. A formulation that is predicted to deliver a therapeutic dose level has also been identified.
· If progress is successful, the application to commence first human trials is expected to be made during Q1 2021.
SDC-1802 (cancer immunotherapy)
· Formulation work for oral dosing of SDC-1802 is complete and toxicology studies and further manufacturing work are planned over the coming months.
· In October 2019, Sareum presented new findings showing that SDC-1802, dosed orally as a monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy, significantly reduces tumour growth in models of solid tumours and blood cancers.
· In October 2020, the Company received a Notice of Allowance for its US patent covering SDC-1802, the grant of which will complete the patent protection of this compound in all major territories.
TYK2/JAK1 Inhibitors for treating symptoms of Covid-19
· A grant application has been submitted to UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to fund preliminary laboratory studies investigating the potential of Sareum's TYK2/JAK1 inhibitors to address the severe inflammatory responses (the "cytokine storm") and potentially fatal respiratory symptoms of Covid-19 and other viral infections.
· A response is expected by the end of October 2020 which, if successful, will enable initial studies to begin shortly thereafter.
