MDM2 is the E3 Ligase that Modulates p53, the Largest Tumor Suppressor
Cancer genetics: p53 is NOT mutated in almost 50% of tumors
• MDM2 overexpression and amplification can inactivate p53
Large opportunity in wide variety of cancers

MDM2 Degraders In Oncology: KT-253
●
Benefits of MDM2 Degradation
KT-253, unlike small molecule inhibitors, overcomes the feedback loop which
up-regulates MDM2 production and in doing so more effectively stabilizes the
tumor suppressor p53
Broad franchise opportunities available for this mechanism (over 50% of tumors
are p53 WT), Kymera is focused on indications with specific sensitivity to
degrader mechanism, through a biomarker strategy
Opportunity to translate profile into clinical superiority of degrader over SMI, as
has been shown with IRAK4
