    Journal:  Conformational-Design-Driven Discovery of EZM0414: A Selective, Potent SETD2 Inhibitor for Clinical Studies. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 23, 2022   
    Herein we describe the conformational-design-driven evolution of the advanced chemistry lead, which resulted in compounds appropriate for clinical evaluation. Further optimization of this chemical series led to the discovery of EZM0414, which is a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable inhibitor of SETD2 with good pharmacokinetic properties and robust pharmacodynamic activity in a mouse xenograft model.

    Discovery and First Structural Disclosure of EZM0414: A potent and selective small molecule inhibitor of the histone methyltransferase SETD2 (La Nouvelle Orleans A-B, Convention Center) -  Mar 23, 2022 - Abstract #AACR2022AACR_8007;    
    Because H3K36me2 is the substrate of SETD2, we hypothesized that inhibiting SETD2 could target the underlying oncogenic mechanism driven by the dysregulated H3K36 methylation from MMSET overexpression in t(4;14) MM patients, and would establish proof of concept in this and other B cell malignancies (e.g. DLBCL) that may demonstrate dysregulated H3K36me3 or a dependency on SETD2. In this presentation, we will describe the discovery and structure of our clinical candidate EZM0414, a first-in-class, potent, selective, orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor of the enzymatic activity of SETD2; robust anti-tumor effects of SETD2 inhibition with EZM0414 in MM (including t(4;14) MM) and DLBCL preclinical studies; and the outline of the ongoing first-in-human Ph1/1b open-label, multicenter study of EZM0414 in patients with relapsed/refractory MM or DLBCL.
