highly selective
PIM1 kinase inhibitorPIM1 is overexpressed in hematologic malignancies, including myelofibrosis (MF), contributing to disease progression by modulating cytokine-driven pathways such as PI3K/AKT and JAK/STAT.
PIM1 knockout was shown to prevent MF progression without affecting platelet (PLT) counts, whereas pan-PIM knockout caused decreased PLT counts.
9.6.1 Nuvisertib monotherapy (Arm 1)
ASH 2025 abstract
n= 77 r/r MF
5 dose levels from 480 mg QD to 720 mg BID
No DLT occurred
Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurring in ≥20% of pts were primarily
grade 1/2 diarrhea,nausea, andvomiting.In pts treated with
720 mg BIDdose for ≥12 weeks, ≥25% SVR was observed in 4 of 20 pts (20% SVR25 response) and ≥50% reduction in TSS in 9 of 20 pts (44% TSS50 response) at any time.A strong correlation (p<0.001) between cytokine modulation (e.g. ↓ ENRAGE, ↓ MIP1β, ↓ PAI-1, ↓ IL-1ra and ↑adiponectin) and SVR25, TSS50, and individual symptom improvement were observed.
Anemia Benefit: In pts with baseline Hgb <10 g/dL, 6 of 26 (23%) pts showed Hgb response [≥1.0 g/dL Hgb increase sustained for ≥12 weeks without transfusion, including 3 pts with ≥1.5 g/dL Hgb increase]. Hgb responses were also observed in pts with baseline Hgb >10 g/dL.
Hepcidin reduction
Platelet Response: In pts with baseline PLT <100 × 109/L, 8 of 30 (26.7%) pts showed PLT response [≥30×109/L increase maintained ≥4 weeks] and PLT recovered to ≥100 × 109/L in all responders. Increased levels of cytokines (e.g. TN-C) were observed in PLT responder pts, suggesting a potential link between
TN-Cmodulation and platelet recoveryBM Fibrosis: 13 of 34 (38.2%) evaluable pts (assessments at baseline and ≥Week 24) showed ≥1 grade reduction in BM fibrosis; 11 of 13 pts also showed at least one of SVR25, TSS50, Hgb or PLT responses (5 pts showed dual Hgb and PLT response).
Survival: The 1-year survival rate following nuvisertib treatment was 82% which also correlated with cytokine modulation.
