In <span class=\"xn-chron\">October 2025<\/span>, the first patient was dosed in the dose expansion phase where up to 40 patients will be randomized to either 500 mg once or twice daily to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose for future clinical trials.<\/p>\n<p>Key highlights from the updated data as of <span class=\"xn-chron\">October 28, 2025<\/span>, include:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>33 patients were enrolled, representing a difficult-to-treat population. The median age was 75. The median number of prior therapies was 3 (range: 1-8); 76% (25) of patients had received luspatercept, 73% (24) had received an erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA), 67% (22) had received an hypomethylating agent (HMA) and 6% (2) had received imetelstat. 61% (20) of patients were high transfusion burden (HTB) at baseline. 67% (22) of patients were ring sideroblast (RS) negative.<\/li>\n<li>Median duration of treatment was 5.5 months (range: 0.9 &#8211; 27.7 months). R289 was generally well tolerated across all dose groups in this heavily pre-treated lower-risk MDS patient population, the majority of whom were HTB at baseline. The most common Grade 1\/2 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (in \u226518% of patients) were diarrhea (n=10, 30%), constipation and fatigue (each n=9, 27%), and creatinine increased and cough (each n=7, 21%). The most frequent Grade 3\/4 TEAEs were anemia (n=6, 18%), neutrophil count decreased and pneumonia (each n=5, 15%), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) increased and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) increased (each n=3, 9%). One (1) dose limiting toxicity (DLT) (Grade 4 AST increased\/Grade 3 ALT increased) was reported in the 750 mg dose group.<\/li>\n<li>For evaluable transfusion dependent (TD) patients (\u226516 weeks follow up) at dose levels of at least 500 mg QD and higher, 6\/18 (33%) patients achieved durable red blood cell transfusion independence (RBC-TI) of &gt;8 weeks [500 mg QD (1\/3), 750 mg QD (2\/5), 500\/250 mg QD (1\/5), 500 mg BID (2\/5)]. Duration of RBC-TI was &gt;16 weeks in 4 patients and &gt;24 weeks in 3 patients. The median time to onset of RBC-TI was 1.9 months and the median duration of RBC-TI was 22.9 weeks. Peak hemoglobin increases of 2.9 to 6.1 g\/dL compared to baseline occurred in patients achieving RBC-TI.<\/li>\n<li>Of the 6 patients achieving RBC-TI, 5 had received an HMA.<\/li>\n<li>At doses \u2265500 mg QD, steady state R835 plasma concentrations reached or exceeded those associated with 50-90% inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cytokine release previously observed in healthy volunteers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Oral presentation details are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <span class=\"xn-chron\">Sunday, December 7, 2025<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">9:45am to 10:00am ET<\/span><br \/>Publication #:<\/b>\u00a0489<br \/><b>Session Name:\u00a0<\/b>637.

TLRs and IL-1Rs play a critical role in the innate immune response and dysregulation of these pathways can lead to various inflammatory conditions. Chronic stimulation of both these receptor systems is thought to cause the pro-inflammatory environment in the bone marrow responsible for persistent cytopenias in lower-risk MDS patients.<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <u>About Rigel<br \/><\/u><br \/>\n        <\/b>Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
