About IMG-7289

IMG-7289 is a small molecule discovered by Imago BioSciences that
inhibits lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1 or KDM1A), an enzyme
regulating cytokine expression and sustaining self-renewal in malignant
hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. In non-clinical studies, IMG-7289
demonstrated robust in vivo efficacy as a single agent and in
combination with other therapeutic agents across a range of myeloid
malignancies models including the myeloproliferative neoplasms which
encompass myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia
vera. IMG-7289 also shows activity against solid tumors in combination
with other checkpoint agents in non-clinical models. IMG-7289 is under
evaluation for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (see
clinicaltrials.gov NCT02842827).
