On January 10, 2022, the Company announced the submission of its Investigational New Drug application to the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for BDTX-1535 and expects to initiate the Phase 1 study of BDTX-1535 in the first quarter of 2022, subject to allowance of the IND by the FDA. The Company expects to provide a clinical data update on BDTX-1535 in the second half of 2023.

BDTX-189

The Company also announced that, due to the rapid evolution of the treatment landscape in non-small cell lung cancer harboring either EGFR or HER2 Exon 20 insertion mutations, the Company has decided to enroll additional patients into the MasterKey-01 Phase 1 safety expansion cohort to obtain more clinical data and inform future development of BDTX-189. The Company expects to provide further guidance on the BDTX-189 program in 2022.

Financial Guidance
