An article was published on the same topic as above.

Especially in the Leclaza Chases Tagrisso... Korean Companies Targeting Diverse Genetic Mutations" section, Therapex was introduced as a notable player.

 

Therapex is poised to commence clinical trials for the development of EGFR-targeted anti-cancer agents with TRX-221.

 

This pipeline aims to treat a broad spectrum of mutations, from those targeted by first and second-generation EGFR-targeted anti-cancer agents such as Del19 and L858R, to the T790M mutation targeted by third-generation drugs. It even treats the C797S mutation, which emerges after treatments involving third-generation drugs.   

The development of a fourth-generation EGFR TKI by Therapex is aimed at creating a more effective first-in-class drug. This new drug aims to differentiate itself from existing first and third-generation EGFR-targeted drugs while addressing their limitations.

We expect positive outcomes in the clinical trial phases following preclinical research, with the goal of making a meaningful contribution to the global healthcare industry with this first-in-class drug.
