First Patient Dosed in Ph 1 Combo Cohort of MEM-288 + Docetaxel in Advanced NSCLC
“Dosing the first patient in this combination cohort marks an important milestone for the MEM-288 program,” said Mark Cantwell, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, Memgen. “Docetaxel remains a backbone in the second-line setting, yet outcomes are still disappointing, with median overall survival typically less than one year. Combining intratumoral MEM-288 with chemotherapy has strong biological rationale. Our goal with this study is to improve the depth and durability of response and, ultimately, deliver a clinically meaningful improvement over the current standard of care for patients facing significant unmet need.”

“We are pleased to evaluate the clinical combination of IDE892 with RG6505 in MTAP-deleted RAS-mutant PDAC,” said Yujiro S. Hata, President and Chief Executive Officer, IDEAYA Biosciences. “This collaboration aligns with our broader clinical strategy to evaluate rational combinations with assets in our MTAP-deletion portfolio, and there remains especially high
“In the first reported data from the clinical combinations of our PRMT5 inhibitor vopimetostat and RAS(ON) inhibitors, we saw extremely encouraging early results, with 92% of patients with PDAC in the vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib arm achieving an objective response, supporting the preclinical data showing synergistic activity of PRMT5 + RAS
“Non-small cell lung cancer is the most prevalent lung disease with more than 8,000 patients in the U.S. diagnosed each year with KRAS G12D-mutations. Receiving Fast Track designation for VS-7375 reinforces both the significant unmet need and the potential of VS-7375 to improve outcomes for patients with KRAS G12D-mutated lung
“KRAS has notoriously been considered an undruggable target and patients with KRAS-driven cancers continue to face limited treatment options with survival measured in months, not years,” said John Reed, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Innovative Medicine, Research & Development, Johnson & Johnson. “We believe the proprietary Firelink™ platform will overcome
