This drug is under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Below is a timeline of key regulatory milestones for this therapy.
- Drug:
- OP-3136
- Announced Date:
- April 25, 2025
- Indication:
- Bioavailable KAT6 Inhibitor
Announcement
- Olema Pharmaceuticals, announced preclinical data demonstrating the anti-tumor activity of OP-3136, a novel small molecule that potently and selectively inhibits lysine acetyltransferase 6 (KAT6), in prostate, ovarian, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) models.
AI Summary
Olema Pharmaceuticals has shared new preclinical data showing that its small-molecule drug, OP-3136, can effectively slow tumor growth. The drug is a potent and selective inhibitor of lysine acetyltransferase 6 (KAT6), an enzyme linked to cancer development. Studies in prostate, ovarian, and non-small cell lung cancer models reveal strong anti-tumor activity. In ovarian cancer tests, OP-3136 as a single treatment resulted in sustained tumor shrinkage, while in other models it reliably slowed tumor growth. The findings indicate that the drug may work independently of KAT6 expression levels. Olema Oncology is now testing OP-3136 in a Phase 1 clinical trial for multiple solid tumors. These preclinical results suggest that OP-3136 may become a valuable treatment option for patients with difficult cancers.

- Indication:
- CDK4/6 inhibitor
Announcement
Olema Pharmaceuticals, announced updated clinical results from the ongoing Phase 1b/2 study of palazestrant in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitor, ribociclib, in patients with estrogen receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (ER+/HER2-) advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
AI Summary
Olema Pharmaceuticals announced promising updated results from an ongoing Phase 1b/2 study evaluating palazestrant in combination with the CDK4/6 inhibitor ribociclib in patients with ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer. With a median follow-up of 12 months, the study has not yet reached median progression-free survival. The overall 6-month PFS rate was 73%, with rates of 81% in patients having ESR1 mutations and 70% in those with wild-type ESR1. Even among patients previously treated with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, the 6-month PFS rate was 68%.
The data show that the combination has a favorable safety profile consistent with ribociclib and endocrine therapy, along with robust clinical activity. These results support further development and are paving the way for a pivotal Phase 3 trial next year to further assess this combination therapy for metastatic breast cancer.
