Incyte And Mirati Therapeutics Enter To Evaluate INCB99280 And Adagrasib In Patients With KRASG12C-Mutated Solid Tumors
“While monoclonal antibodies targeting PD‑L1 or PD-1 have transformed the treatment landscape in oncology, they are limited by their route of administration and long-half life and receptor occupancy which can affect the management of immune-related adverse events,” said Lance Leopold, M.D., Group Vice President, Clinical Development Hematology and Oncology, Incyte. “Incyte’s small molecule, oral PD-L1 program has shown promising safety and efficacy in early studies – INCB99280’s shorter half life may result in improved management of immune mediated adverse events and better clinical outcomes. We are pleased to collaborate with Mirati to conduct the first clinical trial of INCB99280 plus adagrasib, two orally-bioavailable molecules, in patients with KRASG12C-mutated solid tumors.”

“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
