    A few days ago, Day One Biopharmaceuticals announced that it has signed a global license agreement with Merck to jointly develop and commercialize Pimasertib and MSC2015103B.


    Pimasertib and MSC2015103B are oral, highly selective small molecule allosteric inhibitors of MEK 1/2 (key enzyme in the MAPK signaling pathway).


    Day One Pharmaceuticals, located in South San Francisco, is a pharmaceutical startup.


    According to the cooperation agreement between the two companies, Day One will pay Merck an upfront payment, plus other regulatory, approval, and sales-based milestone payments.


    Prior to this, Pimasertib has conducted more than 10 phase 1/2 clinical trials in approximately 900 patients with various tumor types.


    DAY101 is a potential, first-class, brain-permeable, highly selective type II pan-RAF kinase inhibitor under Day One.


    It is worth mentioning that a large part of pediatric tumors are caused by BRAF wild-type fusion protein, not by BRAF mutations.
