Slide 3: ITK is an Immune Regulator
ITK is an Immune Regulator TH1 T-bet • Interleukin-2-inducible T cell kinase (ITK) is APC expressed in T, NK and ILC-2 cells Naïve TH2 • ITK is involved in TCR signaling and cell ITK CD4+ T cell GATA3 differentiation: inhibition leads to – Decreased Th2 and Th17 – Th1 skewing (via RLK sparing) TH17
Slide 4: Why This Matters in Atopic Dermatitis
Why This Matters in Atopic Dermatitis • AD is primarily Th2-driven disease • Current therapies suppress inflammation Th17 Cell Th2 Cell • ITK inhibition can lead to upstream immune reprogramming Front Pharm. 2020 Jul 31;11:1086. (DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2020.01086)
Slide 5: Atopic Dermatitis Placebo Control Phase 1 Design
Atopic Dermatitis Placebo Control Phase 1 Design Soquelitinib 100 mg BID Cohort 1 Randomized N = 12 Clinical Trial Design 3:1 4 weeks N =16 Placebo treatment N=4 • N = 72, moderate–severe atopic dermatitis Soquelitinib 200 mg QD Cohort 2 Randomized 3:1 N = 12 • Randomized, placebo- Participants N =
Slide 6: Durable Responses After Drug Withdrawal
Durable Responses After Drug Withdrawal 4-week Treatment Regimen 8-week Treatment Regimen No rebound! No rescue therapy! No rebound observed ≥90 days of follow-up No rebound observed ≥30 days of follow-up No patients received rescue meds No patients received rescue meds Improvement persists ≥30–90 d
Slide 7: Mechanism-Driven Biomarker Strategy
Mechanism-Driven Biomarker Strategy Biomarker Assessments Based on MOA, we evaluated effects on ITK TH2 Th1, Th2, Th17, and Tregs: GATA3 • Serum cytokines (MSD) • Blood flow cytometry (Foxp3) • PBMC single cell RNAseq Treg TH17 Treg RORγΤ Foxp3 suppresses BACH2 AD disease
Slide 8: Effects on Th2 Related Immunology
Effects on Th2 Related Immunology ITK TH2 IL-4 Th2 drives AD disease GATA3 IL-5 IL-13 Dose-dependent Reduction in Significant reduction in IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and TARC Proliferating Th2* Cohort 3 Cohort 4 % change in proliferating Th2 150 200 mg BID for 28 days 200 mg BID for 56 days % change from bas
Slide 9: Soquelitinib Treatment Leads to Increase in Persistent Tregs
Soquelitinib Treatment Leads to Increase in Persistent Tregs Tregs (CD4+, CD25 hi, Foxp3+) persist beyond treatment Cohort 3 – 200 mg BID Cohort 4 – 200 mg BID Cohort 3+4* – 200 mg BID 0.0737 200 300 200 % change from baseline % change from baseline % change from baseline 150 200 150 28 Days 100 100
Slide 10: Inhibiting ITK Regulates Switch to Treg from Th17
Inhibiting ITK Regulates Switch to Treg from Th17 Increased BACH2 and reduced RORγT expression ITK Treg TH17 Foxp3 RORγΤ BACH2 Treg BACH2 increases at 200 mg BID dose RORγT decreases at 200 mg BID dose BACH2 in Tregs 200 mg BID RORγT in TH17 200 mg BID Paired t-test p = 0.14 Paired t-test p < 0.05 1
Slide 11: Potential Mechanism of Treg Stabilization
Potential Mechanism of Treg Stabilization Untreated Treg Soquelitinib Treg Soquelitinib • Increased BACH2 expression promotes Treg survival • ITK signaling prevents nuclear localization of BACH2 • ITK inhibition promotes BACH2 nuclear localization and activation of Foxp3 gene Unstable Treg Long-live
Slide 12: Soquelitinib Upregulates SOCS3 and Reduces JAK1 in T helper Cells
Soquelitinib Upregulates SOCS3 and Reduces JAK1 in T helper Cells Modulation of the JAK-STAT Pathway SOCS3 increases in circulating T cells SOCS3 in Th2 SOCS3 in Th1 SOCS3 in Tc17 150 200 p = 0.0614 200 p = 0.2166 p = 0.0452 % change from baseline % change from baseline % change from baseline 150 15
Slide 13: Conclusions
Conclusions Soquelitinib: Immune Reprogramming for Durable Control of Atopic Dermatitis Immune Targeted Mechanism Pathway Modulation Clinical Impact Reprogramming Soquelitinib is a Treg rebalancing: Soquelitinib modulates Durable Remissions selective, covalent the JAK-STAT pathway in Continued impro
