At PhoenixMD, we have been vocal in our support of the EPIC Act (H.R. 1492), a bipartisan effort to restore parity and protect patient access to breakthrough therapies. Earlier this year, we submitted a formal letter to U.S. representatives outlining the stakes — not just for our company, but for the future of care.

We are proud to share that letter publicly today, because standing up for patients is part of who we are.

A recent study published in Nature Communications highlights the transformative work of Stephen Oh and his team at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Their findings highlight the innovative targeting of RSK1, which offers new avenues for addressing myeloid malignancies, and reiterate the groundbreaking potential of PMD-026, developed by the team at Phoenix Molecular Designs, to transform cancer treatment and bring new hope to patients worldwide.

In the study, inhibiting RSK1 helped reverse the progression of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) in mice, significantly reducing fibrosis, or scar formation, in the bone marrow. Remarkably, inhibiting RSK1 eliminated up to 96% of cancer in mice after just four weeks, underscoring the transformative potential of this approach.

This collaboration showcases the power of innovative science and partnerships to advance precision medicine. We are proud that PMD-026 is contributing to this vital progress, bringing us closer to better outcomes for cancer patients everywhere.

We’re proud to share that our Founder and CEO, Dr. Sandi Dunn, will be speaking at the Longwood Healthcare Leaders CEO Meeting in San Francisco on January 11 at 1:30 PM. Her session will focus on advances in clinical trials and the impact these innovations are having on patient care.

We are honored that our SABCS poster, #P4-08-27: PMD-026, a First-in-Class RSK Inhibitor, Overcomes Acquired Resistance to CDK4/6 Inhibitors or Aromatase Inhibitors in HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer Preclinical Models, has won the 2024 GRASP Advocate Choice Award.

This recognition underscores the importance of collaboration between patients, clinicians, and researchers in advancing meaningful solutions for breast cancer. Thank you to GRASP for this incredible honor!

Join us on Tuesday, December 17, during the GRASP Poster Walkthroughs, where our work will be highlighted.

Our esteemed collaborators, Kalien M. from Stanford University School of Medicine, and Tim W. from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis presented leading-edge studies utilizing PMD-026. Their research underscores promising data supporting the efficacy of PMD-026 in treating myeloid cancers, including Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).

Founder and CEO, Dr. Sandi Dunn, presented insights from Phoenix Molecular Designs’ late-breaking poster presentation. Delving into the PMD-026 Phase I/Ib study, she discussed how patient selection for high RSK2 expression could be pivotal for achieving enhanced Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in metastatic breast cancer.
