IRAK4 Targeting: Clinical Validation, Human Genetics De-risking and Degrader Advantage IL-1R/TLR Pathway IL1-Ra/IL-1β : Rheumatologic Diseases IL-1a: Atopic Dermatitis IL-1β: CANTOS Data, Atherosclerosis, Lung Cancer IL-18: Macrophage Activation Syndrome IL-36: Generalized Pustular Psoriasis IRAK4 SMI: Rheumatoid Arthritis Unmet Medical Need Validated Biology Undrugged Node Precision Medicine Approach Clinical Pathway Validation IRAK4 is a key component of the myddosome protein complex involved in innate immunity that mediates signals through IL-1R and TLRs Several commercial and clinical stage drugs have validated this pathway in multiple diseases Degrading IRAK4, and fully blocking IL-1R/TLR signaling, is expected to be superior to antibody-based therapies that block only single cytokines, with convenience of a daily oral therapy IRAK4 degradation can block pathway fully vs kinase inhibitors that partially block signaling Human genetics de-risk safety: adults that lack IRAK4 are healthy
