About Kura Oncology
Kura Oncology is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to realizing the promise of precision medicines for the treatment of cancer. The Company's pipeline consists of two wholly owned small molecule drug candidates that target cancer signaling pathways where there is a strong scientific and clinical rationale to improve outcomes by identifying those patients most likely to benefit from treatment. Kura's most advanced drug candidate is tipifarnib, a potent, selective and orally bioavailable farnesyl transferase inhibitor currently in a registration-directed trial (AIM-HN) in patients with recurrent or metastatic HRAS mutant head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The Company's pipeline is also highlighted by KO-539, a potent and selective menin inhibitor currently in a Phase 1/2A clinical trial (KOMET-001) in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
Kura Oncology, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on precision medicine for the treatment of cancer. Its pipeline consists of small molecule product candidates that target cancer signaling pathways. Its product candidates include Ziftomenib, Tipifarnib and KO-2806. Ziftomenib, is a potent, selective, reversible and oral small molecule inhibitor that blocks the interaction of two proteins, menin and the protein expressed by the Lysine K-specific Methyl Transferase 2A gene, or KMT2A gene. Ziftomenib is a once-daily, oral drug candidate targeting the menin-KMT2A protein-protein interaction for the treatment of genetically defined acute myeloid leukemia patients with high unmet need. Tipifarnib is a potent, selective and orally bioavailable farnesyl transferase inhibitor (FTI). The KO-2806 is a next-generation FTI, which demonstrates improved potency, pharmacokinetic and physicochemical properties relative to earlier FTI drug candidates.
