KYMERA R&D DAY - December 16th, 2021
●
Tumor Cell Intrinsic
Hyperactivation of STAT3 via either
receptor signaling, or hotspot mutations
promotes gene expression programs
involved with survival, proliferation,
stemness and metastasis of tumor cells
Opportunities in STAT3-dependent
malignancies (e.g., T cell malignancies,
DLBCL, AML) and drug resistant tumors
(e.g., TKI resistant oncogene-driven solid
tumors)
Tumor Cell Extrinsic
STAT3 promotes the differentiation and
activity of immunosuppressive and
endothelial cells, resulting in an
immunosuppressive tumor
microenvironment.
Opportunities in multiple heme and solid
tumor indications that are not responsive
to immune checkpoint inhibitors.
