Sickle cell disease overview
SCD is characterized by a point mutation HbS,
which upon deoxygenation polymerizes to
cause a sickle-shaped RBC
Sickle-RBCs block blood flow causing VOCs,
and sickling process damages RBCs leading to
hemolysis and anemia

Olutasidenib (FT-2102) is a promising mutant-IDH1 inhibitor for
partnering in Glioma and AML
✓
Promising
investigational agent
•
Olutasidenib is a selective inhibitor for tumors that express mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1
(IDH1m)
•
IDH1m produces an onco-metabolite that blocks stem cell differentiation and promotes tumor
progression through epigenetic dysregulation
•
IDH1m are found in 70-80% of Glioma and 6-8% of AML patients
•
Olutasidenib has shown blood-brain penetration

• Expression of splice variants of AR, such as AR-v7, that are always active even in the absence of androgen binding
• Mutation of the AR that enable activation by non-androgen steroids
• Amplification of the AR
• Overexpression of co-activator proteins, including CBP/p300, that enhance AR induced transcriptional activity
• Intra-tumoral synthesis of androgens
• There are no approved therapies for mCRPC with AR resistance variants, including AR-v7
• 5-year survival rate for mCRPC patients progressing on or after first-line chemotherapy is estimated at only 1.6%
• Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in combination with the adrenal androgen synthesis inhibitor, abiraterone acetate, or Androgen Receptor (AR) antagonists, such as enzalutamide and apalutamide

FT-8225, a liver-targeted FASN inhibitor in development for NASH, has a
promising MOA, elucidated safety / PK, and Ph1 ready supply
✓
Promising
investigational agent
FT-8225 is a liver targeted FASN inhibitor. FASN inhibition has been observed to reduce DNL in
the clinic and in preclinical models. Inhibition of DNL reduces steatosis in NASH patients and has
demonstrated activity in NASH pre-clinical disease models.
✓
Animal model-

~20-fold safety exposure multiples to predicted human efficacious exposure in rat and monkey;
liver-targeted design expected to minimize on-target AEs
✓

use
The FT-8225 CYP-mediated drug-drug interaction risk is low, making it an attractive combination
partner for NASH or NASH-related comorbidities
