Advancing best-in-
class and first-in-class candidates

IAM-C1 is a first-in-class small molecule inhibitor designed to specifically target CDK2 and CDK4, two cell-cycle kinases that are frequently dysregulated in various cancers. Through its selective inhibition of CDK2/4 while preserving other closely related CDKs including CDK1, CDK6, and CDK9, IAM-C1 has the potential to provide expanded therapeutic benefits compared to clinically approved CDK4/6 inhibitors.

IAM-C1 represents a promising new approach to address cell-cycle dysregulation in cancer, building upon the learnings from two decades of research and clinical experience. CDK4/6 inhibitors are the standard of care for patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (mBC) in both first- and subsequent-line settings. Despite the success of these agents, many patients demonstrate either intrinsic or acquired resistance to the approved CDK4/6 inhibitors. HR+/HER2- mBC remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, presenting extraordinary unmet patient need.

The more targeted approach of IAM-C1 offers a more favorable safety profile by reducing dose-limiting toxicities associated with non-CDK2/4 kinases, including CDK6.
