About TRC694
TRC694 is a novel, potent, orally bioavailable inhibitor of NF-kB inducing kinase (NIK) with the potential to be first-in-class that was discovered by Janssen and licensed by TRACON in September 2016. In pre-clinical studies, TRC694 selectively repressed P52/RelB mediated non-canonical NF-kB gene expression and inhibited NIK and TRAF3 mutant cell line proliferation in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. Genetic alterations leading to stabilization of NIK are found in a subset of B-cell malignancies: multiple myeloma, mantle-cell lymphoma (where it is associated with ibrutinib resistance), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
