ATX-295 / Accent Therap - LARVOL DELTA

Activity of the novel KIF18A Inhibitor, ATX-295, is enriched in whole genome doubled ovarian and TNBC preclinical models (AACR-NCI-EORTC 2025) - P1 | "Together, these results demonstrate that inhibition of KIF18A via ATX-295 is a compelling strategy in chromosomally instable, whole genome doubled tumors such as HGSOC and TNBC and identify WGD as a potential enrichment biomarker of ATX-295 sensitivity in these indications. Furthermore, AI-based detection of WGD from patient H&E-stained tissue slides demonstrates promise as a stratification tool for identifying patients most likely to respond to ATX-295 therapy. ATX-295 is currently being evaluated in a first-in-human, Phase 1/2 open-label study assessing safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors and ovarian cancer (NCT06799065)."

Accent Therapeutics Presents Data Supporting Therapeutic Potential of…Novel KIF18A Inhibitor, ATX-295, at the AACR Annual Meeting 2025 (PRNewswire) - "For Accent's second lead program, preclinical data included in the company's oral presentation demonstrates sensitivity to KIF18A inhibition across several solid tumor indications with high chromosomal instability, signaling significant opportunity for patient impact by leveraging KIF18A as a selective oncology target. Results further characterize ATX-295 as a potent and selective KIF18A inhibitor capable of inducing mitotic arrest, cell death, and anti-tumor activity in cancer models with high chromosomal instability. Studies in relevant cellular and xenograft models exhibiting whole genome doubling confirm selective anti-cancer activity, providing rationale for whole genome doubling as a predictive biomarker of ATX-295 sensitivity in ovarian and triple negative breast cancer."

Activity of the novel KIF18A inhibitor, ATX-295, is enriched in whole genome doubled ovarian cancer pre-clinical models (AACR 2025) - "Within responding PDX models, the majority (73%) were WGD(+), including all models with deep response (regression). These data identify WGD as a potential enrichment biomarker of ATX-295 sensitivity in ovarian cancer models."
