Positive Results Reported from Bezuclastinib PEAK Ph 3 Trial in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST)
“It is a historic day for Cogent Biosciences and the GIST patient community,” said Andrew Robbins, Cogent’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are extremely excited to announce positive results from the Phase 3 PEAK trial of bezuclastinib plus sunitinib, which have far surpassed our expectations for the activity of this combination in patients with imatinib-resistant or intolerant GIST. With these incredible results, including a greater than seven-month improvement on mPFS – reducing the rate of progression or death by half – the bezuclastinib combination is poised to become the new standard of care for treatment of second-line GIST patients. We are pleased to have an existing Expanded Access Program available to GIST patients who have an urgency to access this novel treatment immediately and look forward to partnering with regulatory agencies to make this combination broadly available to patients as soon as possible.”
