Ardea Biosciences Presents Data Demonstrating Favorable Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy for Mitogen-Activated ERK Kinase (MEK) ...(Biosciences of San Diego California is a...),Health

Date:4/15/2008

Biosciences, of San Diego, California, is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of HIV, cancer and inflammatory diseases, including gout. We have four drug candidates in clinical trials and several others in preclinical development and discovery. Our most advanced drug candidate is RDEA806, a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), which is in a Phase 2a study for the treatment of HIV. We are also investigating RDEA806 for the treatment of gout. Our lead MEK inhibitor, RDEA119, is in Phase 1 studies in advanced cancer patients and healthy volunteers for assessment as a treatment of inflammatory diseases. RDEA436, our second generation MEK inhibitor for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases, has been evaluated in human micro-dose pharmacokinetic studies and selected as a development candidate. In addition to the foregoing clinical programs, we are investigating other drug candidates in earlier stages of preclinical development and discovery.
