Kymera Therapeutics Announces Sanofi IRAK4 Collaboration Update (GlobeNewswire) - "Sanofi has informed Kymera that KT-485/SAR447971, an oral, highly potent and selective development candidate targeting IRAK4 for immuno-inflammatory diseases that Kymera has discovered and characterized through preclinical studies, has been selected to advance into clinical studies. Following extensive preclinical work supporting its robust development potential, KT-485 is being prioritized for development under the companies’ existing IRAK4 collaboration, and is expected to advance into Phase 1 testing next year. Based on the planned development of KT-485, Sanofi will not advance KT-474....In conjunction with its plans to advance KT-485, Sanofi also communicated its decision to exercise its participation election right for the IRAK4 target under the terms of the companies’ collaboration agreement. Under the agreement, Kymera achieved a $20 million milestone in the second quarter of 2025 related to preclinical activities associated with KT-485."

DISCOVERY AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SIM0711, A POTENT AND SELECTIVE IRAK4 PROTAC WITH ENHANCED EFFICACY AND SAFETY (EULAR 2025) - "Its activity was compared with either the benchmark IRAK4 PROTAC (KT-474) or the benchmark IRAK4 inhibitor (PF-06650833). These findings establish SIM0711 as a best-in-class IRAK4 PROTAC with the potential to treat a wide range of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Its robust IRAK4 degradation, superior anti-inflammatory efficacy, and favorable drug properties support its further development, with an IND submission anticipated in H2 2025."

Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of KT-474, a Novel Selective Interleukin-1 Receptor-Associated Kinase 4 (IRAK4) Degrader, in Healthy Adults. (PubMed, Clin Transl Sci) - P1 | "KT-474 demonstrated robust IRAK4 degradation in blood, with mean reductions of up to 98% observed at the 50-200 mg QD doses, as well as inhibition of ex vivo induction of a broad array of cytokines and chemokines by stimulants lipopolysaccharides and R848. Analysis of the relationship between plasma KT-474 concentration and IRAK4 reduction in blood indicated that plasma concentrations of 4.1-5.3 ng/mL would yield 80% IRAK4 reductions."
