About NEO-811
NEO-811 is an investigational molecular glue degrader designed to induce targeted degradation of a protein called ARNT, also known as HIF-1β, and fully block a central signaling pathway implicated in ccRCC. By leveraging a differentiated degradation mechanism, NEO-811 has the potential to address underlying tumor biology that remains inadequately treated with current standards of care. NEO-811 is currently being evaluated as a monotherapy in a first-in-human Phase 1/2 clinical trial in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-resectable ccRCC.
