Nimbus Therapeutics revealed new preclinical data indicating that selective inhibition of salt-inducible kinase 2 (SIK2) significantly reduces inflammation and bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis models, showing comparable efficacy to existing treatments etanercept and upadacitinib. This positions selective SIK2 inhibitors as a promising oral therapy targeting dual mechanisms in RA and other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.
