The Trk receptors were identified as part of an effort to find mediators of both itch and inflammation in AD. Using our Molecular Design expertise we were able to design a PanTrk inhibitor, equipotent against the 3 receptors BEN-2293 is expected to treat atopic dermatitis by: inhibiting itch signaling and blocking nerve sensitization (TrkA) in addition to inhibiting Th1 and Th2-mediated dermal inflammation (TrkB, TrkC) • BEN-2293 will target Mild, Moderate and Severe Atopic Dermatitis patients, addressing unmet need in the treatment of mild to moderate Atopic Dermatitis as a steroid sparing alternative and in more severe patients undergoing treatment with biologics (e.g. dupilumab) that require add-on treatment Sources: (1) Weidinger et al.
