BMS-906024 is a lead candidate of a series of inhibitors of gamma secretase-mediated Notch signalling. BMS-906024 is an orally bioavailable, small-molecule gamma secretase (GS) and pan-Notch inhibitor, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, GS/pan-Notch inhibitor BMS-906024 binds to GS and blocks activation of Notch receptors, which may inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells with an overly-active Notch pathway. The integral membrane protein GS is a multi-subunit protease complex that cleaves single-pass transmembrane proteins, such as Notch receptors, at residues within their transmembrane domains that lead to their activation. Overexpression of the Notch signaling pathway has been correlated with increased tumor cell growth. BMS-906024 is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials for patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and metastatic solid tumors, including lung cancer.
