CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flare Therapeutics Inc. (FlareTx), a clinical-stage biotechnology company targeting transcription factors to discover precision medicines for oncology and other therapeutic areas, today announced the presentation of FX-909 Phase 1A clinical data in an oral presentation at the upcoming AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics being held October 22-26, 2025 in Boston, MA. FX-909 is a first-in-class orally available small molecule inhibitor of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), the master regulator of the luminal lineage, currently in a Phase 1B study for the treatment of locally-advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (UC). 

AACR-NCI-EORTC oral presentation details are as follows:

Abstract Title: Safety and clinical activity of FX-909, a first-in-class oral small molecule inhibitor of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), a master regulator of luminal lineage in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma
Session: Plenary Session 4: Clinical Trials Plenary Session
Presenter: Xin Gao
Date, Time: Friday, October 24, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:40 a.m. ET
Location: Level 3, Ballroom AB

About Flare Therapeutics Inc.
Flare Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company exclusively focused on drugging transcription factors to fully unlock the therapeutic potential of this previously elusive target class. The company’s lead program, FX-909, is a first-in-class orally available small molecule inhibitor of PPARG, the master regulator of the luminal lineage, that is initially being developed for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. FX-909 has achieved clinical proof-of-concept in a Phase 1A study as a monotherapy and is actively dosing patients in a Phase 1B to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose in a biomarker-defined population. The second lead program, FX-111, is a novel and highly differentiated potent and selective degrader for AR_ON, the transcriptionally active, hormone-bound androgen receptor. This approach offers the potential to overcome key vulnerabilities of conventional therapies that target AR_OFF and has broad potential across prostate cancer at all stages. FX-111 is undergoing Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies for initial development for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). These two programs, along with an earlier-stage portfolio targeting transcription factors involved in oncology and other therapeutic areas, leverage Flare Therapeutics’ integrated discovery platform of capabilities that identifies novel validated ligands to the undrugged proteome.
