Proteovant Therapeutics to Present Preclinical Data from Estrogen Receptor and IKZF2 Protein Degrader Programs
March 14 2023 - 7:00AM
Proteovant Therapeutics, a Roivant Sciences (Nasdaq:
ROIV) company leveraging the process of protein degradation to
discover and develop transformative medicines for the treatment of
patients with life-altering diseases, today announced it will
present data on PVTX-321, an estrogen receptor degrader, at the
Protein Degradation & Targeting Undruggables Congress USA,
March 15-16 in Boston and on PVTX-405, an IKZF2 molecular glue, at
the Targeted Protein Degradation Europe Conference, March 28-30 in
London.
Targeted protein degradation harnesses the body’s natural
protein disposal system and offers the potential to develop new
medicines targeting historically difficult-to-drug proteins that
play an important role in causing serious diseases. Proteovant
Therapeutics is discovering and developing best-in-class and
first-in-class degraders that can engage previously undruggable
targets.
“We are advancing a robust pipeline of heterobifunctional
degraders and molecular glues that span a range of novel molecular
targets, which are implicated in disorders where new medicines are
needed,” said Drew Fromkin, CEO, Proteovant Therapeutics.
“PVTX-321, our degrader targeting the estrogen receptor, is highly
potent and demonstrates impressive, dose dependent tumor growth
inhibition and shrinkage in preclinical models. In addition,
PVTX-405 has best-in-class potential with robust IKZF2 degradation
in vivo. We are enthusiastic about the progress being made across
our degrader pipeline and molecular glue platform initiatives.”

About Proteovant TherapeuticsProteovant
Therapeutics exploits the ubiquitin-protease system (UPS) to
discover and develop transformative medicines for the treatment of
patients with life-altering diseases. Protein degradation harnesses
the human body’s innate cellular machinery by way of the UPS to
identify and mark disease causing proteins for destruction. This
promising approach provides the opportunity to target proteins of
interest, many of which were previously considered undruggable.
Proteovant integrates its degrader drug hunting expertise, MOPED™
molecular glue screening platform, and external partnerships to
advance novel protein degraders across a range of therapeutic
areas. Founding investors include Roivant Sciences (Nasdaq: ROIV)
