• Oryzon Genomics has announced the dosing of the first patient in a Phase I trial of iadademstat for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
• The trial, led by the Medical College of Wisconsin, will assess the safety, tolerability, and optimal dose of iadademstat with azacitidine.
• Iadademstat, a selective LSD1 inhibitor, aims to address the differentiation block in hematopoietic progenitor cells characteristic of MDS.
• The study hopes to improve outcomes for MDS patients, where current treatments have limited efficacy, especially in higher-risk cases.
