Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook

The race for next-generation CRBN modulators is shifting from traditional immunomodulatory imide drugs (IMiDs) to targeted molecular glue degraders and PROTACs. As first-generation agents (lenalidomide, pomalidomide) face increasing resistance via CRBN mutations (D390V, R419G), the industry is pivoting toward:

  1. Mutation-agnostic glues that retain efficacy against resistance alleles
  2. Neosubstrate-selective degraders that spare SALL4 (avoiding teratogenicity) while efficiently degrading IKZF1/3
  3. Non-IMiD CRBN binders with novel chemotypes for expanded target scope

The next wave of R&D focuses on rational glue design rather than serendipitous discovery, requiring precise biophysical characterization of ternary complexes. Expansion into immunology and neurodegenerative indications is also emerging.
