In the earlier Phase I study conducted in advanced solid tumor patients, JBI-802 showed a dose-proportional increase in exposure across cohorts and a strong correlation between exposure and the on-target effect of platelet decrease. There were no reports of Dysgeusia and Anemia, typical adverse events seen with LSD1only inhibitors.
The Phase I trial also sh.
