A new drug approval for the vanguard of RNA-targeted small molecules

Dark Matter Blog

A few years ago, at Arrakis Therapeutics, we set out to conquer a strange new territory, drugging RNA structures with small molecules. On the strength of those findings, nusinersen was approved by the FDA at the end of 2016 for the treatment of SMA , marketed under the commercial brand Spinraza.

Looking beyond traditional oncogenic pathways to break cancer resistance

Drug Target Review

4 Another related and well described non-oncogene resistance mechanism is the histological transformation of EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to small-cell lung cancer upon treatment with an EGFR inhibitor. This orally available small molecule binds to the bromodomain of CBP/p300 in a highly specific manner.
