About Aileron
Aileron is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing a proprietary platform of cell-permeable alpha-helical peptides that address the most important intracellular targets in oncology and other therapeutic areas. The stabilized helical structure of our peptides allows the design of cell-permeable therapeutic agents with large molecular surfaces for optimal target binding properties, resulting in unique drugs like ALRN-6924.

About ALRN-6924
ALRN-6924 is a first-in-class, stabilized alpha-helical peptide that mimics the p53 tumor suppressor protein to disrupt its interactions with both its endogenous inhibitors, MDMX and MDM2. For p53 wild-type tumors, ALRN-6924 can restore p53-dependent tumor suppression. ALRN-6924 is currently being evaluated in multiple clinical trials for the treatment of solid and hematological cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). For information about Aileron's clinical trials, please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov.
