Progress and Strategic Opportunities for SGR-1505 MALT1 Inhibitor

Initial Phase I data for SGR-1505 showed a well-tolerated profile with responses in heavily pretreated CLL and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia patients, with 3 of 17 CLL patients responding and all 5 Waldenstrom's patients responding.
The program has received FDA Fast Track designation, highlighting its potential as a promising therapeutic in refractory hematologic cancers.
Schrodinger is exploring strategic opportunities to accelerate clinical development and maximize the potential of SGR-1505, rather than pursuing independent late-stage trials.
The company plans to provide further updates on dose escalation, translational data, and regulatory feedback later this year.
The emerging profile of SGR-1505 suggests best-in-class potential, with early evidence supporting its use in refractory disease, especially in patients previously exposed to BTK and BCL2 inhibitors.
