Product Candidate: IPI-926

    IPI-926 is a novel, potent, orally-available small molecule inhibitor of the Hedgehog pathway. Malignant activation of the Hedgehog pathway is implicated in multiple cancer settings and Infinity's development strategy is designed to enable IPI-926 to target a broad range of critical oncology targets - from the tumor cell to the cancer microenvironment. This broadly applicable, targeted approach represents an innovative method for fighting cancer and has potential in treating a range of cancers, including pancreatic cancer, small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, medulloblastoma, basal cell carcinoma, and certain hematological malignancies.

    Infinity is currently evaluating IPI-926 in a Phase 1 trial in patients with advanced solid tumors. Data from this trial are expected to be presented in 2010, and Infinity anticipates initiating Phase 2 development later this year.

    Infinity has reported preclinical data on IPI926 demonstrating significant anti-tumor activity and excellent pharmaceutical properties, including oral bioavailability, long plasma and tumor half-life, and dose-dependent inhibition of tumor growth. For all scientific publications relating to IPI-926 and the Hedgehog signaling pathway, click here.

    Infinity has an issued U.S. patent broadly covering the composition of matter of a genus of compounds, including IPI-926, useful for modulating the Hedgehog signaling pathway.

Hedgehog Pathway
http://www.infi.com/video4.swf
    The Hedgehog signaling pathway represents a new way of understanding and potentially attacking the progression and reoccurrence of cancer. The Hedgehog pathway is normally active during embryonic development and regulates tissue and organ formation. Malignant activation of the Hedgehog pathway is believed to play a central role in allowing the proliferation and survival of cancer cells, including pancreatic, prostate, small cell lung, breast, and hematologic cancers, as well as certain skin and brain cancers.

How Does Hedgehog Pathway Inhibition Function?

    Infinity is developing a novel, proprietary Hedgehog pathway inhibitor,
    IPI-926. In preclinical models, IPI-926 has shown potent and selective inhibition of the Hedgehog pathway, anti-tumor activity, and attractive pharmacologic properties, including oral bioavailability and favorable half-life. IPI-926 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial and is part of Infinity's global strategic alliance with Purdue Pharmaceutical Products L.P. and Mundipharma International Corporation Limited.
