First-in-class IRAK4(¹) oral protein degrader SAR444656 or
KT-474
●
●
Degradation of IRAK4 protein
abolishes its kinase activity and
scaffold function
●
IRAK4 protein degrader
SAR444656 inhibits pNFkB
and pro-inflammatory cytokines
• Potential for oral immunology
●
pathway drug across multiple
indications
Targeting early initiation steps
may afford possibility of early
intervention and disease
