| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On December 12, 2024, the Company reported positive initial data from its MYTHIC Phase 1 gynecologic expansion clinical trial evaluating Lunre+Camo at the optimized RP2D in patients with endometrial cancer and PROC harboring lunre-sensitizing biomarkers.
The MYTHIC clinical trial is a first-in-human, global, open-label Phase 1 dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of Lunre+Camo in patients with advanced solid tumors. As of the data cut-off date of November 14, 2024, 51 evaluable patients were enrolled in the gynecologic cancer expansion cohort of the MYTHIC trial. The key points from the most recent data cut are summarized below.
Across all solid tumor types treated at the optimized RP2D (n=67), Lunre+Camo therapy demonstrated a favorable and differentiated tolerability profile when compared to current and emerging therapies. The most common adverse event was anemia (26.9%).
Key Findings from Endometrial Cancer Patient Cohort:
| • | 27 evaluable patients with endometrial cancer were evaluated in the trial. The patients in the cohort had a median age of 67 years. All patients in the cohort exhibited high-risk profiles: |
| • | 100% of patients have undergone prior platinum therapy |
| • | 77.8% of patients received immune checkpoint inhibitors |
| • | 59% of patients received the combination as a fourth line of therapy or beyond |
| • | 18.5% of patients had carcinosarcoma |
| • | 85% of tumors had p53 mutations |
| • | No tumors with microsatellite instability (MSI)-high status were enrolled indicating proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) status |
| • | Within the Lunre BM+ subset: 56% of tumors had PPP2R1A mutations; 22% carried FBXW7 mutations; 15% had CCNE1 amplification; and 7% of tumors had multiple mutations |
| • | Key efficacy outcomes in evaluable patients with endometrial cancer (N=27): |
| • | ORR was 25.9% (confirmed ORR in 5 out of 7 patients) |
| • | Clinical benefit was observed in 48.1% of patients, with responses frequently occurring after 12 weeks or more |
| • | At the 24-week landmark analysis, nearly half of patients experienced durable clinical benefit (24-week PFS [PFS24w] = 43% [95% CI, 21-63%]) |
Key Findings from Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer Patient Cohort:
| • | 24 evaluable patients with PROC were evaluated in the trial. The patients in the cohort had a median age of 63 years. All patients in the cohort exhibited high-risk profiles: |
| • | 100% of patients were platinum-resistant or platinum ineligible |
| • | 45.8% of patients had received prior PARP inhibitors |
| • | 70.8% of patients had received prior bevacizumab |
| • | 54% of patients received the combination as a fourth line of therapy or beyond |
| • | 100% of tumors had p53 mutations |
| • | Within the Lunre BM+ subset: 87.5% of tumors had CCNE1 amplification; 4.2% of tumors had FBXW7 mutations; 4.2% of tumors had PPP2R1A mutations; and 4.2% of tumors had multiple mutations |
| • | Key efficacy outcomes in evaluable patients with PROC (N=24): |
| • | ORR was 37.5% (confirmed ORR in 4 out of 9 patients) |
| • | Clinical benefit was observed in 77.3% of patients, with responses frequently occurring after 12 weeks or more |
| • | PFS at the 24-week landmark analysis was (PFS 24w=45% [90% CI, 22-66%]). |
The Company has consulted with both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the European Medicines Agency, who have provided guidance into the Company’s registrational development plans for Lunre+Camo in gynecologic tumors, including assessment of the contribution of components, dose and schedule and preliminary alignment on the proposed registrational development approach. The Company plans to provide the final Phase 3 registrational trial protocols for regulatory clearance imminently, and intends to start the first Phase 3 Lunre+Camo trial in endometrial cancer in the second half of 2025. Additionally, the Company expects to initiate a small contribution of components trial in up to 40 patients with endometrial cancer in the first quarter of 2025.
