SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RAPT Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:RAPT), a clinical-stage, immunology-based biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing oral small molecule therapies for patients with significant unmet needs in oncology and inflammatory diseases, today announced enrollment has been completed in its Phase 1b clinical trial of RPT193 in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The Company expects treatment follow up and data compilation to be completed in time for top line results to be reported in the first half of 2021.
"We look forward to reporting top line data from this trial of RPT193 in atopic dermatitis, which could serve as initial proof of concept in AD and a wide range of inflammatory diseases," said Brian Wong, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO of RAPT Therapeutics. "We believe an encouraging outcome in this Phase 1b trial would be if RPT193 shows a clear benefit compared to placebo in at least one key clinical or patient-reported endpoint. Evidence of efficacy, combined with once-daily oral convenience and a favorable safety profile, would be attractive in this patient population. This is an exciting time for RAPT as our CCR4 antagonist platform may potentially demonstrate broad clinical utility in both oncology and inflammation."
RAPT's Phase 1b study is part of a first-in-human Phase 1a/1b trial of RPT193. The Phase 1b portion of the trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with moderate to severe AD. The study is being conducted at multiple sites in the United States and has enrolled 31 patients. The primary endpoint of the Phase 1b study is safety. Secondary and exploratory endpoints include pharmacokinetics, biomarkers and clinical efficacy as evaluated by multiple measurements, including the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) and pruritis Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). The Phase 1b trial was not powered to achieve statistical significance for any particular endpoint.The Phase 1a portion of the Phase 1a/1b trial was a standard single and multiple dose escalation study in healthy volunteers. The data from the Phase 1a study demonstrated pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics that support once-daily oral dosing with RPT193, and blinded safety data supported initiation of the Phase 1b portion of the trial. Preclinical studies of RPT193 have demonstrated its ability to block the migration of mouse and human Th2 cells in vitro as well as inhibit inflammation in models of atopic dermatitis and asthma.
About RPT193
RPT193 is a small molecule oral therapy in development for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and other inflammatory diseases. RPT193 is designed to selectively inhibit the migration of Th2 cells into inflamed tissues by blocking CCR4, a receptor highly expressed on Th2 cells. In allergic inflammatory diseases such as AD, chemokines recruit Th2 cells via CCR4 into inflamed tissues, where the Th2 cells secrete proteins known to drive the inflammatory response. The role of Th2 cells has been clinically validated by injectable biologics targeting this pathway. Patients with atopic dermatitis express higher levels of CCR4 ligands compared with healthy humans; these ligands also correlate with the severity of disease. RAPT believes that by inhibiting CCR4, RPT193 has the potential to bring therapeutic benefit to patients across a broad spectrum of inflammatory diseases, including atopic dermatitis, asthma, chronic urticaria, allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis and eosinophilic esophagitis.About Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by skin barrier disruption and immune dysregulation. Patients with AD have chronically inflamed skin lesions that can cause debilitating pruritus (itch), which can severely impair quality of life. While there are marketed injectable products for the treatment of AD, RAPT believes RPT193, if approved, could fill an unmet medical need for the treatment of inflammatory disorders with the convenience of once daily oral dosing.About RAPT Therapeutics, Inc.

(NASDAQ:RAPT), a clinical-stage, immunology-based biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing oral small molecule therapies for patients with significant unmet needs in oncology and inflammatory diseases, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.
"In 2020, we achieved important advancements in clinical development for our two lead programs: FLX475 in oncology and RPT193 in inflammatory diseases," said Brian Wong, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of RAPT Therapeutics. "In November, we reported early evidence of clinical activity for FLX475, both as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab, in multiple tumor types. These data helped us determine advancement of several cohorts in our multi-cohort, multi-indication Phase 1/2 trial. For RPT193, we continued enrolling our Phase 1b study of RPT193 in atopic dermatitis over the course of 2020 despite a brief pause early in the year because of the pandemic. Today, we are well positioned for key data readouts for both RPT193 and FLX475. We plan to report on the Phase 1b trial for RPT193 in the first half of 2021 and provide an update in the second half of 2021 on additional data generated with FLX475 in multiple cohorts that have sufficiently matured."

- Tumor model data shows potential of CCR4 antagonist to alter immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment to improve CAR T-cell therapy in solid tumors
- Small-molecule HPK1 inhibitors enhance antitumor immunity in tumor model
- Inhibiting GCN2 stress kinase shows potential to restore immunity in tumor microenvironment
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RAPT Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:RAPT), a clinical-stage, immunology-based biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing oral small molecule therapies for patients with significant unmet needs in oncology and inflammatory diseases, today announced several upcoming preclinical poster presentations at the American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting demonstrating promise and potential of its pipeline of anti-cancer agents.
"Our posters at AACR reflect our continued exploration into the role of the immune system in cancer and the potential of immunology-based therapies to address certain challenges in oncology," said Dirk Brockstedt, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of RAPT. "Specifically, the role and importance of CCR4 inhibition will be highlighted and continue to support the early clinical data we have observed with FLX475, our CCR4 inhibitor being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 trial in multiple tumors. In addition, we will also present preclinical data on two exciting next-generation immune-oncology targets, HPK1 and GCN2, which show that orally available inhibitors elicit potent antitumor immune responses in a variety of cancer models."
Summaries of the studies to be presented:
Poster: 1585
Title: T-regulatory cells impair CAR T-cell-mediated antitumor activity in a murine solid tumor model
Session Title: Combination ImmunotherapiesChimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell immunotherapy has had only modest success in solid malignancies due in part to tumor antigen heterogeneity and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, which is believed to be at least in part due to immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Treg). Treg express CCR4 and migrate toward CCL17 and CCL22 which are frequently upregulated in a subset of tumors or increased following immunotherapy. In a murine mesothelioma model, a combination of CAR- T-cells plus CCR4 antagonist significantly slowed tumor growth and significantly improved survival compared to untreated control. Furthermore, enhanced antitumor activity was observed with the combination of CAR T cells and CCR4 antagonist compared to either monotherapy, with 4/9 mice treated with the combination becoming tumor free and experienced significantly increased survival.
Poster: 1646
Title: Development of small-molecule HPK1 inhibitors to unleash tumor-specific T cell responses
Session Title: Immune CheckpointsHematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) is an intracellular protein kinase that is associated with inhibition of critical immune T cell signaling and proliferation important for mounting an effective immune response against tumor cells. RAPT's small-molecule compounds demonstrated potent inhibition of HPK1 in biochemical assays, reduction of levels of phosphorylated SLP76 and concomitant increase in IL-2 production. In addition, the Company's HPK1 inhibitors enhanced cytokine production of human and mouse primary T cells above that observed with T-cell receptor activation alone. Notably, treatment of mice with an orally available HPK1 inhibitor resulted in increased activation of antigen-specific CD8 T-cells and decreased tumor growth as monotherapies and in combination with clinically relevant checkpoint inhibitor antibodies.
Poster: 3153
Title: Targeting the stress response kinase GCN2 to restore immunity in the tumor microenvironment
Session Title: Tumor MicroenvironmentRecent advances in cancer metabolism suggest that targeting amino acid metabolism represents a promising strategy for the development of novel therapeutic agents. Tumor, stromal and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) within the tumor microenvironment (TME) create a nutrient-poor environment that inhibits immune function and support tumor growth. GCN2 (general control nonderepressible 2), a stress response kinase, plays a key role in maintaining cellular homeostasis under a wide range of stressors, leading to T cell anergy, apoptosis, enhanced MDSC-dependent immune suppression and tumor cell survival. The treatment of nutrient-deprived T cells in vitro with a GCN2 inhibitor enhanced CD4 and CD8 T-cell proliferation and effector functions. The GCN2 inhibitor also reversed T cell suppression mediated by MDSCs derived from healthy donors or cancer patients. In syngeneic mouse tumor models, oral administration of a GCN2 inhibitor showed impressive drug-target engagement and potently inhibited GCN2 kinase in the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, the GCN2 inhibitor as a single agent and in combination with checkpoint inhibitors and angiogenesis inhibitor (anti-VEGFR) delayed tumor growth in renal cell carcinoma and lung cancer syngeneic tumor models.
