Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September 9, 2024, Relay Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing interim clinical data for RLY-2608, the first known allosteric, pan-mutant and isoform-selective inhibitor of phosphoinostide 3 kinase alpha ("PI3Kα"), a copy of which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company intends to host a conference call and live webcast to discuss the interim clinical data on September 9, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. E.T. The Company has made available a slide presentation to accompany the call, a copy of which is being furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to update, supplement or amend the materials attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto, is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
RLY-2608
On September 9, 2024, the Company announced interim clinical data for RLY-2608. RLY-2608 is currently being evaluated in the Company's ReDiscover Trial, an ongoing first-in-human study, which was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary antitumor activity of RLY-2608 alone, in combination with fulvestrant, and in combination with fulvestrant and ribociclib or atirmociclib.
The interim clinical data were based on an August 12, 2024 interim data cut-off date. As of such date, the RLY-2608 and fulvestrant combination arm of the study had enrolled 118 patients with PI3Kα-mutated, HR+, HER2– locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer across all doses in both the dose escalation and dose expansion portions of the study, including 64 patients at the Company's recommended Phase 2 dose ("RP2D") of 600mg twice daily (17 in dose escalation and 47 in dose expansion). Among these 64 patients, 31 had a kinase mutation and 33 had a non-kinase mutation. Twelve patients also had a PTEN or AKT co-mutation and were therefore excluded from the efficacy analysis, consistent with the currently proposed pivotal population.
All patients across doses had received a significant level of prior therapy in the advanced setting, including at least one prior endocrine therapy and at least one prior CDK4/6 inhibitor. Among the 64 patients who received the RP2D:
Among the 52 patients who received the RP2D and did not have a PTEN or AKT co-mutation:
RLY-2608 in combination with fulvestrant was generally well tolerated in the 118 patients treated across all doses as of the data cut-off date. The overall tolerability profile consisted of mostly low-grade treatment-related adverse events ("TRAEs") that were manageable and reversible. Safety outcomes were generally as expected across dose levels based on exposure and consistent with mutant-selective PI3Kα inhibition. Among the 64 patients who received the RP2D:
The Company also continues to progress two front-line triplet regimens with RLY-2608 and fulvestrant- one with the existing CDK4/6 standard-of-care, ribociclib, and one with Pfizer Inc.'s investigative selective-CDK4 inhibitor atirmociclib.
Lirafugratinib (RLY-4008)
On September 9, 2024, the Company also announced that it met with the FDA regarding the lirafugratinib regulatory path. The FDA suggested that the Company first file a new drug application (“NDA”) in cholangiocarcinoma, followed by a tumor agnostic supplemental NDA for FGFR2 fusions with data from more patients and more follow up. Updated FGFR2 fusion tumor agnostic data, which have generally stayed consistent with the data disclosed by the Company in October 2023, will be presented at the AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics, taking place October 23-25, 2024. The Company plans to seek a global commercialization partner for lirafugratinib in order to maintain focus on the remainder of the portfolio.
