Chemistry:IDRX-42

From HandWiki

IDRX-42 (formerly M4205) is a highly selective small molecule KIT inhibitor compound developed for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.[1][2][3] The compound was originally discovered by the German company Merck[4] and later out-licensed to IDRX. In November 2024, promising anti-tumor data from ongoing Phase 1/1B studies were reported.[5] In January 2025, the compound played a key role in the $1 billion acquisition of IDRX by GSK.[6]
