Abstract PR015: Discovery of LY4050784 (FHD-909), a selective BRM (SMARCA2) ATPase inhibitor for the treatment of BRG1(SMARCA4) mutant cancers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract BRM (SMARCA2) and BRG1 (SMARCA4) are highly homologous ATPases that are members of the BAF (also known as the mSWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex. BRM and BRG1 are mutually exclusive enzymatic subunits of BAF complexes, and functional genomic screens have shown a synthetic lethal relationship between the two genes. BRG1 is frequently mutated in cancer, including in approximately 10% of non-small cell lung carcinomas. Selective inhibition of BRM is a mechanism by which BRG1-mutated cancer cell growth would be affected by losing BRM function, while normal tissues should be spared as they still express functional BRG1. Given that the ATPase domains of BRM and BRG1 are 92% identical, the identification of selective enzymatic inhibitors of BRM has been challenging. Here, we report the discovery of a novel, highly potent compound that selectively inhibits BRM over BRG1 and that also possesses excellent oral pharmacokinetics. LY4050784 (aka FHD-909) inhibits BRM in cell-based transcriptional and proliferation assays and is greater than 30-fold selective over BRG1. It is also selective against other helicases and does not show any significant activity in off-target screening panels. Dosing of mice carrying BRG1-mutant xenografts causes target gene modulation that is correlated with compound exposure. Treatment of A549 and RERF-LC-AI xenografts with LY4050784 led to tumor growth inhibition of 87% and 96%, respectively, at well-tolerated doses, and significant tumor growth inhibition, including regression, was also achieved in BRG1-mutant models NCI-2126 and NCI-1793. The results suggest that our compound has first-in-class potential as a potent and selective BRM ATPase inhibitor for the treatment of BRG1-mutated cancers, and we are planning to file an IND in Q2 of 2024.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
