Tempest to Present at Emerging Technologies for IO Targeting and Discovery Summit
Dara Burdette, Ph.D., Tempest Senior Director of Discovery Research, to Chair “New Approaches to Solid Tumor Targeting” Session
Nicholas DeVito, M.D, Duke University School of Medicine, to present TPST-1495 preclinical data
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Oct. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tempest Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TPST), a clinical-stage oncology company developing first-in-class1 therapeutics that combine both targeted and immune-mediated mechanisms, today announced that Dara Burdette, Ph.D., Senior Director of Discovery Research at Tempest, will present on the company’s TREX1 pipeline asset and will serve as chairperson for the “New Approaches to Solid Tumor Targeting” session at the Emerging Technologies for IO Targeting and Discovery Summit taking place October 13-14, 2022 in Boston, MA.
TREX1 Presentation
Dr. Burdette’s presentation will describe the company’s approach to identify and characterize novel small molecule inhibitors of the 3’-5’ DNA repair exonuclease, TREX1. TREX1 inhibits cGAS/STING signaling and is induced in tumor cells due to genetic instability or therapeutic intervention. Tempest’s program aims to generate an anti-tumor response through selectively activating the STING pathway in advanced metastatic cancers with orally available small molecule inhibitors of TREX1.

In addition, Nicholas DeVito, M.D., a medical oncologist and medical instructor in the laboratory of Dr. Brent Hanks, M.D., Ph.D. at Duke University School of Medicine, will be giving a presentation describing pre-clinical results with TPST-1495, Tempest’s clinical-stage dual inhibitor of the EP2 and EP4 prostaglandin E2 receptors, in mice bearing tumors with designated gene expression profiles.
