[{"type":"text","content":"KT-333 Phase 1 oncology trial ongoing with an update including initial evaluation of its clinical antitumor activity in patients expected in the fourth quarter of 2023 Fast Track designation can potentially accelerate KT-333’s development path for the treatment of R/R Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma and R/R Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma WATERTOWN, Mass., Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KYMR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing targeted protein degradation to deliver novel small molecule protein degrader medicines, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation to KT-333 for the treatment of R/R Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL) and R/R Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma (PTCL). KT-333 is a highly selective degrader of STAT3 in development for the treatment of multiple STAT3-dependent pathologies, including hematological malignancies and solid tumors. STAT3 is a transcriptional regulator that has been linked to numerous cancers as well as to inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. In 2022, KT-333 received FDA orphan drug designation for the treatment of both CTCL and PTCL. “The KT-333 Fast Track designation highlights the promise of degrading STAT3, a protein that has historically been undruggable, for the treatment of patients with CTCL and PTCL,” said Jared Gollob, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Kymera Therapeutics. “We look forward to providing an update on the KT-333 Phase 1 clinical trial later this year, including initial evaluation of its antitumor activity in the target patient populations, and to working with the lymphoma community to rapidly advance this first-in-class heterobifunctional degrader in CTCL and PTCL in addition to exploring its potential in other cancers.” The FDA’s Fast Track process is designed to get important new medicines to patients more quickly, facilitating the development and expediting the review of therapies intended to treat serious conditions and address unmet medical needs. Companies whose programs are granted Fast Track designation are eligible for more frequent interactions with the FDA during clinical development and potentially accelerated approval and/or priority review, if relevant criteria are met.
