Introducing Day One Biopharmaceuticals Inc.
Day One Biopharmaceuticals Inc. is a holding company that specializes in developing and commercializing targeted therapies for genetically defined cancers in patients of all ages. The company’s research and development efforts have culminated in two promising products, DAY101 and pimsertib.
Our Mission
Our primary goal is to help patients with genetically defined cancers by providing them with more personalized and effective treatments. We believe that genetic testing can play a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and we are committed to being at the forefront of this field.
Our Products
DAY101 is an oral small molecule that inhibits a protein known as SF3B1. This protein is frequently mutated in certain types of cancer, including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). By inhibiting SF3B1, DAY101 can selectively kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. We are currently conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DAY101 in patients with MDS, AML, and CLL.
Pimsertib is a potent and selective inhibitor of a protein called MEK. This protein is involved in many different signaling pathways that are frequently altered in cancer. By inhibiting MEK, pimsertib can impair the growth and survival of cancer cells. We are currently conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pimsertib in patients with solid tumors that have a specific genetic alteration known as a KRAS mutation.
