Kinnate Biopharma Inc. to Present Trials in Progress Poster for its Pan-FGFR Inhibitor, KIN-3248, at the 2023 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium and ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium
Kinnate Biopharma (Nasdaq: KNTE) announced a poster presentation regarding the design and rationale of its ongoing Phase 1 trial (KN-4802) for the investigational pan-FGFR inhibitor, KIN-3248. This trial aims to assess safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy in adults with tumors harboring FGFR2 and/or FGFR3 gene alterations. KIN-3248 addresses oncogenic mutations prevalent in cancers like intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. The trial is open-label, involving 120 patients across the U.S. and Taiwan. Initial data is expected in the second half of 2023, with presentations at the ASCO conferences in January and February 2023.

SAN FRANCISCO and SAN DIEGO, Jan. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kinnate Biopharma Inc. (Nasdaq: KNTE) (“Kinnate”), a clinical-stage precision oncology company, today announced the poster presentation of the design and rationale of a Phase 1 trial-in-progress (KN-4802, NCT05242822) evaluating the Company’s investigational pan-FGFR inhibitor, KIN-3248, at two upcoming American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)-related conferences.
KIN-3248 is an irreversible, small molecule pan-FGFR inhibitor designed to address primary FGFR2 and FGFR3 oncogenic alterations, and those predicted to drive acquired resistance to current FGFR-targeted therapies, including gatekeeper, molecular brake, and activation loop mutations observed in cancers such as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and urothelial carcinoma (UC). In preclinical studies, KIN-3248 demonstrated inhibitory activity across a wide range of clinically relevant mutations that drive primary disease and acquired resistance to other FGFR inhibitors.
The KN-4802 clinical trial (NCT05242822) is a multi-center, open-label, two-part study of approximately 120 patients to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of KIN-3248 in adults with advanced tumors harboring FGFR2 and/or FGFR3 gene alterations. Dose escalation (Part A) will determine the recommended dose and schedule of KIN-3248 for further evaluation in patients with FGFR2 and/or FGFR3 gene alteration-driven cancers. Dose expansion (Part B) will assess the safety and efficacy of KIN-3248 at the recommended dose and schedule in FGFR inhibitor naïve and FGFR inhibitor pretreated patients with cancers driven by FGFR2 and/or FGFR3 gene alterations, including ICC, UC, and other advanced or metastatic solid tumors in adults.
This trial is currently enrolling across multiple sites in the U.S. and Taiwan, with initial dose escalation data anticipated in the second half of 2023.
