Amphista Therapeutics to present novel mechanism of action for the degradation of BRD9 using its proprietary Targeted Glue® technology at two key upcoming scientific conferences

Cambridge, UK, 20 March 2025 – Amphista Therapeutics, a leader in the discovery of next-generation, Targeted Protein Degradation (TPD) medicines, today announces the presentation of the discovery of a novel mechanism for BRD9 degradation, differentiated from cereblon- or VHL-based PROTACs using the Company's novel Targeted Glue® technology. These will be at the 2 SMR Molecular Glues meeting being held on 21 March in Stevenage, UK, and the 5 Annual TPD and Induced Proximity Summit Europe being held 25-27 March in London, UK.

Dr. Marta Carrara, Associate Director Target Discovery & Validation at Amphista, will deliver the oral presentations that describe the generation of selective and potent degraders of BRD9, an emerging target in Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Amphista's proprietary Targeted Glue catalyzes degradation via DCAF16, a relatively uncharacterised E3 ligase, and therefore has the potential to create novel TPD therapeutics for application across a wide range of indications.

These data illustrate the strength of the Company's proprietary chemistry and its Eclipsys™ platform in enabling the rational design of orally bioavailable protein degraders.
