Ikena Oncology Aktie (IKNA)

Ikena Oncology, Inc. is a clinical-stage, targeted oncology company. The Company is focused on developing differentiated therapies for patients in need that target nodes of cancer growth, spread, and therapeutic resistance. Its lead program in the RAS pathway, IK-595, is a molecular glue designed to trap MEK and RAF in an inactive complex, more completely inhibiting RAS signals than existing inhibitors. IK-595’s ability to complex the RAFs, including CRAF prevents a signaling bypass mechanism that cancer cells employ to drive therapeutic resistance to other drugs in this class. IK-595 is being developed as an oral therapy and evaluated in a Phase I clinical trial in RAS and RAF mutant cancers.
