Olema Pharmaceuticals Company Profile - aVenture Research
Olema Pharmaceuticals
Olema Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing once-daily oral palazestrant for patients with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer.
Olema Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that advances a pipeline of novel therapies for breast cancer. It applies its understanding of endocrine-driven cancers, nuclear receptors, and acquired resistance mechanisms to develop therapies for patients living with breast cancer, including OP-3136, an orally available small molecule that inhibits lysine acetyltransferase 6 (KAT6) potently and selectively; KAT6 is an epigenetic target dysregulated in breast and other cancers.
Palazestrant is a novel, orally available complete estrogen receptor antagonist (CERAN) and selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) that blocks both transcriptional activation function domains AF1 and AF2. It fully inhibits ER-driven transcription irrespective of ESR1 mutation status, and it is a once-daily oral medicine for breast cancer, specifically ER+/HER2- cases that have recurred or spread beyond the initial disease site.
