Watertown, Mass. (Oct. 27, 2021) – Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KYMR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing targeted protein degradation (TPD) to deliver novel small molecule protein degrader medicines, today presented new safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data, including cytokines, from the Single Ascending Dose (SAD) portion of the KT-474 Phase 1 randomized, placebo-controlled healthy volunteer trial, at the 4th Annual Targeted Protein Degradation Summit.

The presentation included data from the seven KT-474 single dose cohorts, comprising 57 healthy volunteer subjects randomized 6:2 to either a single oral dose of KT-474 or placebo. The data demonstrated robust, dose-dependent IRAK4 reduction, maintained for up to 6 days, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) measured by mass spectrometry, resulting in mean IRAK4 reduction from baseline of 93-96% achieved at 48 hours post-dose at the top three dose levels, achieving strong proof-of-mechanism (see Table 1). Flow cytometry demonstrated that the effect of KT-474 on IRAK4 levels was similar in lymphocytes and monocytes.

Cohort	Placebo (n=13)	Cohort 1 (n=6)	Cohort 2 (n=6)	Cohort 3 (n=6)	Cohort 4 (n=6)	Cohort 5 (n=7)	Cohort 6 (n=5)	Cohort 7 (n=6)
KT-474 dose	—	25 mg	75 mg	150 mg	300 mg	600 mg	1000 mg	1600 mg
Mean IRAK4 Change	-1%	-26% (p=0.1)	-73% (p<0.0001)	-81% (p<0.0001)	-84% (p<0.0001)	-96% (p<0.0001)	-93% (p<0.0001)	-95% (p<0.0001)

For the first time, proof-of-biology was also established, with inhibition of ex vivo R848- or LPS-mediated induction of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines in whole blood at doses and exposures associated with mean IRAK4 reduction in PBMC of ³85% at 24-48 hours post-dose. In Cohort 7, where mean IRAK4 reduction at 24 and 48 hours was 89% and 95%, respectively, mean maximum cytokine inhibition as great as 97% was observed (see Table 2). KT-474 demonstrated oral bioavailability, a half-life supportive of daily dosing, and dose-dependent plasma exposures that plateaued after 1000 mg. KT-474 was observed to be well-tolerated; mild to moderate, self-limited headache and nausea were the most common possible or probable treatment-related adverse events, and there were no serious adverse events.

“We are pleased to have completed dose escalation in the SAD portion of our Phase 1 trial and are encouraged by our ability to achieve plasma exposures following single doses of KT-474 that maximize IRAK4 degradation and are well-tolerated, with up to 96% mean reduction of IRAK4 in PBMC,” said Jared Gollob, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Kymera Therapeutics. “Importantly, we have now shown that IRAK4 knockdown of ³ 85% in vivo in circulating PBMC leads to profound TLR/IL-1R pathway inhibition, as demonstrated by up to 97% suppression of ex vivo response of whole blood to TLR agonists. Daily dosing with KT-474 is currently being evaluated in the multiple ascending dose (MAD) portion of the trial; based on the PK properties of KT-474 and the observed PK-PD relationship, we anticipate achieving similar levels of IRAK4 degradation and cytokine inhibition with substantially lower daily doses.”

“The proof-of-mechanism and proof-of-biology that have been achieved with just single doses of KT-474 attest to the potency of this drug and validates the strategy of targeting IRAK4 with a degrader to maximize blockade of TLR/IL-1R signaling,” said Nello Mainolfi, PhD, Co-Founder, President and CEO, Kymera Therapeutics. “The potent, broad effect of IRAK4 knockdown observed on multiple different proinflammatory cytokines implicated in a variety of autoimmune inflammatory diseases highlights the potential for KT-474 to be a best-in-class oral anti-inflammatory drug, especially in a shifting external landscape for safe, broadly active small molecule anti-inflammatory agents.”

KT-474 is a highly active and selective, orally bioavailable IRAK4 degrader being developed for the treatment of toll-like receptor (TLR)/interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R)-driven immune-inflammatory diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, rheumatoid arthritis and potentially other indications. The Phase 1 clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (a first in targeted protein degradation) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of KT-474 in up to 116 healthy volunteers, and in a subsequent cohort of up to 20 patients with atopic dermatitis and hidradenitis suppurativa.

In July 2021, Kymera initiated dosing of healthy volunteers in the Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) portion of the Phase 1 trial of KT-474. The multiple ascending dose portion of the trial is designed to evaluate repeat daily dosing of KT-474 for 14 days, beginning with the 25 mg dose, in healthy volunteers randomized 9:3 to KT-474 or placebo. Kymera plans to present data from the MAD portion of the healthy volunteer study before year end.

The dose level in the MAD healthy volunteer portion which demonstrates maximal IRAK4 degradation and has been well tolerated, will then be selected for evaluation in an open-label cohort of patients with atopic dermatitis and hidradenitis suppurativa (up to 20 patients). Additional information on this clinical trial can be found on www.clinicaltrials.gov.

About IRAK4 and KT-474

IRAK4 is a key protein involved in inflammation mediated by the activation of toll-like receptors (TLRs) and IL-1 receptors (IL-1Rs). Aberrant activation of these pathways is the underlying cause of multiple immune-inflammatory conditions. KT-474, a potential first-in-class, orally bioavailable IRAK4 degrader, is being developed for the treatment of TLR/IL-1R-driven immune-inflammatory diseases with high unmet medical need, such as atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, rheumatoid arthritis, and potentially others. KT-474 is designed to block TLR/IL-1R-mediated inflammation more broadly compared to monoclonal antibodies targeting single cytokines, and to enable pathway inhibition that is superior to IRAK4 kinase inhibitors by abolishing both the kinase and scaffolding functions of IRAK4. In February 2021, Kymera initiated the first-in-human Phase 1 Single and Multiple Ascending Dose trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of orally administered KT-474 in adult healthy volunteers and patients with atopic dermatitis and hidradenitis suppurativa.

Kymera is collaborating with Sanofi on the development of degrader candidates targeting IRAK4, including KT-474 (SAR444656), outside of the oncology and 3mmune-oncology fields.
