YM BioSciences Inc. has announced it will present preclinical results for its CYT387 JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor program demonstrating that CYT387 possesses an excellent enzymatic potency and selectivity profile which may provide significant clinical advantages.
CYT387 is currently being investigated in a Phase I/II clinical study at Mayo Clinic in patients with myelofibrosis. The results will be presented in a poster session at the European School of Haematology International (ESH) International Conference on Myeloproliferative Neoplasms in Albufeira, Portugal held from September 30-October 2, 2010.
"The ESH International Conference showcases research in the area of hematology and our participation among other highly-regarded hematological programs highlights the significance of our CYT387 program, which compares very favorably with other JAK inhibitors" said Dr. Nick Glover, President and COO of YM BioSciences.
"The encouraging progress our JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor, CYT387, has been showing in the clinic is further reinforced by these data demonstrating that our product may have competitive advantages over other JAK inhibitors currently in development. We look forward to the American Society of Hematology (ASH) meeting in Orlando, Florida, in early December 2010, where detailed preliminary clinical data for CYT387 are expected to be presented" says Glover.
