Abemaciclib (a potent inhibitor of CDK4/6 and a weak inhibitor of CDK2) demonstrated an improvement of progression-free survival (PFS) in newly diagnosed GBM patients in Phase 21 More than 60% of GBM patients exhibit alteration of CDKN2 which regulates CDK2, CDK4, CDK6 2 PFS was significantly longer with abemaciclib when compared to temozolomide containing control arm: Hazard ratio: 0.68 p-value 0.03 (one sided hypothesis testing; log rank test) However, there was no evidence of a positive treatment and CDK4 biomarker interaction: p-value: 0.84 CDK2 activity may be an important driver of tumor growth in GBM (1) Wen PY, et al.

Slide 34

BET: BROMODOMAIN AND EXTRA-TERMINAL MOTIF PROTEINS BRD4 BET are a family of proteins with two bromodomains (BD1 and BD2) BET proteins can induce the expression of a number of oncogenes, including MYC – an oncogene that cannot be targeted directly with a drug To date, BET inhibitors have largely focused on targeting both both domains (BD1 and BD2) Non-selective BD1/2-inhibitors in development have been associated with tolerability issues, potentially due to BD1 inhibition (Faivre et al 2020)

NUV-1182 | A2A receptor Solid Tumors in Combo with IO 4Q22 Initiate Phase 1 trial


Slide 45

NUV-1182 is focused on targeting the A2A adenosine receptor, which plays multiple critical roles in human physiology and pathophysiology including anti-cancer immunity. Accumulation of adenosine in the tumor microenvironment may be a critical factor in limiting the activity of currently available immune-oncology drugs, including anti-PD1/PD-L1 drugs and anti-cancer chimeric T cells. Targeting A2A may overcome this blockade, leading to improved anti-cancer activity in tumors which are resistant to immuno-oncology drugs and T cell therapies. NUV-1182, an adenosine a2a receptor inhibitor, boosts immune function
