LP-184, a Novel Acylfulvene Molecule, Exhibits Anticancer Activity against Diverse Solid Tumors with Homologous Recombination Deficiency.

Abstract

New agents with activity against DDR-deficient solid tumors refractory to standard-of-care therapies are needed. We report multiple findings supporting the potential for LP-184, a novel alkylating agent with three FDA orphan drug designations, to fill this void clinically: strong nanomolar potency; sustained, durable regression of solid tumor xenografts; synthetic lethality with HR defects. LP-184 adult phase IA trial to assess safety in advanced solid tumors is ongoing.
