Olema Pharma's OP-3136 Phase 1 shows anti-tumor activity

AI Summary

Olema Pharmaceuticals announced preliminary Phase 1 clinical data for OP-3136, a potent KAT6 inhibitor, demonstrating acceptable tolerability and promising anti-tumor activity as a monotherapy across multiple advanced solid tumor types. The study observed tumor shrinkage in over two-thirds of evaluable patients, including 3 partial responses (2 confirmed), with no dose-limiting toxicities or discontinuations due to adverse events. These results, supported by on-target engagement and predictable pharmacokinetics, reinforce confidence in OP-3136's potential and support ongoing Phase 1 evaluation, including combination studies. Olema will present these data and a Phase 3 trial-in-progress poster at the upcoming ASCO Annual Meeting.
