Preliminary Ph 2 Data for Silevertinib in 1L NSCLC and Plans for Ph 2 Trial of Silevertinib in GBM Announced
“We are pleased to share these initial data in frontline NSCLC patients showing silevertinib’s activity against a broad spectrum of 35 distinct non-classical EGFR mutations,” said Mark Velleca, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Black Diamond Therapeutics. “We are particularly encouraged by the CNS activity of silevertinib in treating NSCLC patients with brain metastases, as published data clearly demonstrate that CNS metastases are a key factor in early disease progression for NCM NSCLC patients treated with second- and third-generation EGFR-TKIs. We also believe that silevertinib is uniquely positioned as a potential treatment for patients with newly diagnosed EGFR-altered GBM, and plan to initiate a randomized Phase 2 trial in the first half of 2026, while PFS data matures in our Phase 2 NSCLC study and we continue our partnering discussions.”

“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
