Data Highlights:

“Based on the preclinical data we have observed from our studies of KSQ-4279, we believe it has great potential in a number of solid tumors, and we are looking forward to sharing the results from our ongoing Phase 1 clinical study in the future,” said Frank Stegmeier, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of KSQ. “USP1 is the first of multiple exciting targets that our CRISPRomics platform identified. In addition to KSQ-4279, we’re advancing multiple engineered TIL (eTILTM) adoptive cell therapy programs towards the clinic.”

KSQ-4279

KSQ-4279 is a first-in-class small molecule targeting USP1, a protein regulating DNA damage response (DDR). USP1 was identified by KSQ’s CRISPRomics® platform as a novel synthetic lethal target in cancers with certain types of genomic instability. KSQ-4279 is currently in a Phase 1 study in patients with advanced solid tumors.
