About ZX-4081

ZX-4081 is a potent and highly selective PI3Kγ inhibitor and the only other PI3Kγ selective inhibitor in the clinical trial  IND approval of ZX-4081 was granted by FDA in July 2021. Recent studies found that PI3Kγ is a molecular switch that governs immune suppression and promotes immunosuppressive myeloid cell polarization during tumor growth and metastasis. Through in vitro and in vivo preclinical studies at Zenshine, ZX-4081 showed the ability of tumor growth inhibition by reprogramming tumor microenvironment via impairing PI3Kγ-AKT-mediated macrophage polarization to enhance anti-cancer immunity. It has tremendous potential to overcome resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors as combination therapies and provides an innovative treatment to under-treated patients.
