Amplia’s patent portfolio covers its lead drug narmafotinib, currently in clinical trials for pancreatic and ovarian cancer, and a second drug candidate (AMP886) being investigated in preclinical studies. The new patent application describes additional chemical compounds closely related to narmafotinib that also demonstrate potent and selective activity against FAK. These molecules broaden Amplia’s development pipeline and may provide future opportunities for evaluation across additional indications. Importantly, the patent application adds depth to the Company’s existing intellectual property estate around its FAK inhibitor program and supports the long-term commercial value of its development assets.

Dr. Chris Burns, CEO and Managing Director of Amplia, commented, "This patent application further strengthens our portfolio of potent FAK inhibitors and highlights the depth of innovation being generated by the Company. In addition to supporting narmafotinib, it creates future development and partnering optionality through a broader suite of novel molecules targeting this important pathway.
