Description |
XL784 is a potent inhibitor of the ADAM-10 metalloprotease enzyme, a target of significant interest because of its important role in blood vessel formation and cell proliferation. XL784 was specifically optimized to be MMP-1 sparing, thus potentially enhancing its safety profile and enabling higher dosing compared with other previously studied metalloprotease inhibitors. Results of single dose Phase I clinical trials of XL784 administered orally to 96 healthy volunteers have demonstrated that XL784 has attractive safety and pharmacokinetic profiles. It is being developed by Exelixis, Inc.
