SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDYA), a synthetic lethality focused precision medicine oncology company committed to the discovery and development of targeted therapeutics, provided a business update and announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022.

"We are excited about our maturing portfolio as we start 2023. We now have three potential first-in-class clinical-stage programs which are wholly owned or controlled – darovasertib (PKC) in late Phase 2, IDE397 (MAT2A) in Phase 2 monotherapy expansion, and IDE161 (PARG) in Phase 1 dose escalation. A fourth potential first-in-class program, our Pol Theta Helicase development candidate, is advancing into the clinic with IND submission planned in the second quarter of 2023, and the Werner Helicase development candidate nomination is targeted for this year, both in collaboration with GSK. This diverse pipeline of precision medicine therapeutics is unique among our peers and positions us as a leader in precision medicine oncology," said Yujiro S. Hata, President and Chief Executive Officer, IDEAYA Biosciences.

"We are developing darovasertib, our most-advanced clinical program, with a strategy that could broadly impact ocular melanoma – including as neoadjuvant monotherapy for primary uveal melanoma with the goals of avoiding enucleation and/or preserving vision, as adjuvant monotherapy after primary interventional treatment, and as a first-line metastatic therapy in combination with crizotinib," said Dr. Darrin M. Beaupre, M.D., Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of IDEAYA Biosciences.

"We are also continuing to invest in our preclinical synthetic lethality pipeline and platform capabilities, reflecting our commitment to discover and develop transformative and potential first-in-class precision medicine oncology therapies," added Dr. Michael White, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer of IDEAYA Biosciences.

IDEAYA is advancing darovasertib, its most advanced clinical program, toward a potentially registrational Phase 2/3 clinical trial. Darovasertib is a potential first-in-class small molecule oral protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor being developed for patients having ocular melanoma, including metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM) and primary uveal melanoma (UM).

The company is targeting a regulatory update on the potentially registrational clinical trial design for darovasertib in combination with crizotinib in MUM, following receipt of FDA minutes from its meeting with the FDA, which is scheduled in the first quarter of 2023. IDEAYA is enrolling additional first-line (1L) MUM patients into its ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the darovasertib / crizotinib combination, and is planning for a mid-year (second or third quarter) 2023 clinical data update, including clinical efficacy (e.g., confirmed overall response rate (ORR) and median progression free survival (PFS)). The program objective is to observe a confirmed ORR of 20% or greater and a mPFS of 5 months or greater, where historical clinical efficacy reported in MUM have been an ORR of 0 to 5% and a mPFS of 2 to 3 months.

In primary UM, IDEAYA is starting a company-sponsored Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate darovasertib as a single-agent neoadjuvant therapy prior to enucleation or radiation therapy and as adjuvant therapy following such interventional treatment. IDEAYA is targeting an interim clinical data update from the ongoing investigator sponsored trial (IST) for darovasertib as neoadjuvant therapy in UM in 2023.

The IDE397 clinical development strategy includes Phase 2 monotherapy expansion in select indications and a planned Phase 1/2 evaluation of IDE397 in combination with AMG193, the Amgen investigational MTA-cooperative PRMT5. The IDEAYA-sponsored Phase 2 clinical trial is evaluating IDE397 as monotherapy in a basket of MTAP-null Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), Esophagogastric Cancer and Bladder Cancer.

IDEAYA is collaborating with Amgen on a planned Amgen-sponsored Phase 1/2 clinical trial to evaluate the IDE397 / AMG 193 combination in patients having solid tumors with MTAP deletion. The company is prioritizing the AMG 193 clinical combination and at this time is discontinuing enrollment into the IDE397-001 clinical trial cohorts evaluating IDE397 and chemotherapy combinations. This approach is based on favorable preclinical combination efficacy and tolerability data observed with the IDE397 / AMG 193 combination, and on the proposed target enrollment and budget for the planned global clinical trial pursuant to the Amgen Clinical Trial Collaboration and Supply Agreement (Amgen CTCSA). Pursuant to the Amgen CTCSA, Amgen is the sponsor of the IDE397 / AMG 193 combination study and will execute the clinical trial. Amgen will supply AMG 193, IDEAYA will supply IDE397 and each party will pay for fifty percent (50%) of the external third-party costs of the IDE397 / AMG 193 combination study.

IDEAYA's clinical pipeline also includes IDE161, a potential first-in-class Phase 1/2 PARG inhibitor, for patients having tumors with HRD, including BRCA1/2-mutant breast and ovarian cancers. The IDE161 monotherapy clinical focus will include ER+ / Her2- breast cancer with HRD, representing approximately 10% to 14% of breast cancer. The company is targeting first-patient-dosing of IDE161 in the first quarter of 2023.

The company's preclinical pipeline includes several potential first-in-class synthetic lethal therapeutics advancing toward the clinic. IDEAYA is, in collaboration with GSK, targeting an IND submission in the second quarter of 2023 for a GSK-sponsored Phase 1/2 clinical trial to evaluate its Pol Theta Helicase inhibitor development candidate (DC) in combination with niraparib for patients having tumors with HRD. The Werner Helicase program continues in collaboration with GSK toward a development candidate nomination in 2023.

• 89% of patients show tumor shrinkage in Any-Line MUM: 31 of 35 evaluable patients showed tumor shrinkage as determined by target lesion size reduction;
• 83% Disease Control Rate (DCR) in Any-Line MUM: 29 of 35 evaluable patients showed stable disease or better as determined by target lesion size reduction;
• 50% Overall Response Rate (ORR) in First-Line MUM: 4 of 8 evaluable patients had a confirmed partial response;
• 31% Overall Response Rate (ORR) in Any-Line MUM: 11 of 35 evaluable patients had a confirmed partial response;
• 43% of patients with >30% Tumor Reduction in Any-Line MUM: 15 of 35 evaluable patients observed partial responses with >30% tumor reduction, including 11 confirmed and 4 unconfirmed partial responses;
• Median Study Follow-Up of 6.5 months for First-Line MUM patients and 7.8 months for Any-Line MUM patients;
• Median Duration of Response (DOR) in evaluable First-Line MUM patients has not yet been reached and 4 of 4 patients with confirmed PR's in First-Line MUM remain in response; median DOR in evaluable Any-Line MUM patients has not yet been reached and 7 of 11 patients with confirmed PR's in Any-Line MUM remain in response;
• Median Progression Free Survival (PFS) in First-Line MUM patients has not yet been reached and is >5 months in evaluable First-Line MUM patients; median PFS for evaluable Any-Line MUM patients is ~5 months; and 
• The darovasertib and crizotinib combination therapy has indicated a manageable adverse event profile in MUM patients (n=37) at the combination expansion doses, with a low rate of drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs) and with no Grade 4 or Grade 5 drug-related adverse events observed as of the data analysis cutoff date of June 26, 2022;
• In November, 2022, the U.S. FDA granted Fast Track designation for evaluation of darovasertib in combination with crizotinib in adult patients being treated for MUM. Under the Fast Track designation, the darovasertib / crizotinib development program in MUM is eligible for various expedited regulatory review processes, including generally more frequent FDA interactions (e.g., meetings, written communications), potential eligibility for rolling review of a New Drug Application (NDA) and potential accelerated approval and priority review of an NDA; and
• In April 2022, the U.S. FDA designated darovasertib as an Orphan Drug in Uveal Melanoma, including MUM. Under an Orphan Drug designation, IDEAYA may be entitled to certain tax credits, exemption from user fees, and subject to FDA approval of a marketing application for darovasertib as a designated orphan-drug product, seven years of statutory marketing exclusivity.

Darovasertib – Neoadjuvant / Adjuvant Uveal Melanoma (UM)
IDEAYA is evaluating the potential for darovasertib in neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant uveal melanoma. Highlights:

• Reported preliminary clinical proof-of-concept data in September 2022 with observed clinical activity supporting potential darovasertib use in the neoadjuvant uveal melanoma setting. As of a data cut-off date of August 19, 2022, these data include observed reductions in tumor size based on ultrasound, PET or MRI by investigator review of primary ocular lesions in 5 of 5 (100%) UM or MUM patients treated as monotherapy or in combination with crizotinib and observed improvement in visual symptoms in the affected eye in two MUM patients having intact primary tumors;
• Initiating a company-sponsored Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate darovasertib as a single-agent neoadjuvant therapy prior to enucleation or radiation therapy and as adjuvant therapy following such interventional treatment;
• In the neoadjuvant setting, the Phase 2 clinical trial includes a first cohort of UM patients with large tumors who would, without neoadjuvant treatment, otherwise undergo enucleation as a primary interventional treatment, and a second cohort of UM patients with small or medium tumors who would otherwise undergo radiation therapy, such as plaque brachytherapy; 
• Each of the neoadjuvant cohorts will be treated with darovasertib prior to a primary interventional treatment until maximum benefit or six months, at which time they will undergo a primary interventional treatment. Neoadjuvant endpoints for the small- or medium-sized tumor cohort include (i) reducing the radiation dose that the patient received, relative to the radiation dose they would have otherwise received without the neoadjuvant treatment, and (ii) functional vison preservation;
• In the adjuvant setting of the Phase 2 clinical trial, each of the two neoadjuvant cohorts will be treated with darovasterib after the primary interventional treatment for up to six months as follow-up adjuvant therapy. Adjuvant endpoints for this portion of the clinical trial include relapse free survival and useful vision;
• Supporting evaluation of darovasertib as neoadjuvant / adjuvant therapy in primary UM in an ongoing investigator-sponsored clinical trial, or IST, captioned as "Neoadjuvant / Adjuvant trial of Darovasertib in Ocular Melanoma" (NADOM) led by St. Vincent's Hospital in Sydney with participation of Alfred Health and the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne; and
• Targeting an interim clinical data update from the ongoing IST for darovasertib as neoadjuvant therapy in UM in 2023.

Darovasertib – Other Potential Indications
IDEAYA is currently prioritizing neoadjuvant and adjuvant primary UM as an expansion opportunity for darovasterib. The company has, however, also considered and/or evaluated the potential for darovasertib in other oncology indications, including (i) darovasertib in combination with crizotinib in cMET-driven solid tumors such as HCC or NSCLC, and (ii) darovasertib in combination with a KRAS inhibitor in KRAS-driven solid tumors.

IDE397 (MAT2A)
IDEAYA is clinically evaluating IDE397, a potent and selective small molecule inhibitor targeting methionine adenosyltransferase 2a (MAT2A), in patients having solid tumors with methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) deletion, a patient population estimated to represent approximately 15% of solid tumors. IDEAYA is continuing clinical development of IDE397 in its Phase 1/2 clinical trial, IDE397-001 (NCT04794699).

IDEAYA owns all right, title and interest in and to IDE397 and the MAT2A program, including all worldwide commercial rights thereto. Highlights:

• Patients are being identified by next generation sequencing (NGS) or by MTAP immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay, with potential confirmatory NGS;
• Focusing IDE397 clinical development strategy as monotherapy in select indications and on IDE397 combination with AMG193, the Amgen investigational MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor;
• Initiated and enrolling patients into monotherapy expansion cohorts, with a focus on squamous cell NSCLC, esophagogastric cancer, and bladder cancer, consistent with preclinical efficacy and translational data; continuing to enroll patients in parallel into the monotherapy dose escalation portion of the clinical trial with a goal to determine the dose limiting toxicity, or DLT; advanced combination dose escalation cohorts for combinations of IDE397 with chemotherapy agents, including pemetrexed and taxanes;
• Collaborating on planned Amgen-sponsored Phase 1/2 clinical trial to evaluate IDE397 in combination with AMG 193, the Amgen investigational MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor, in patients having solid tumors with MTAP deletion, pursuant to a Clinical Trial Collaboration and Supply Agreement with Amgen (Amgen CTCSA). The combination of IDE397 with AMG 193 is a novel and potential first-in-class synthetic lethality combination which targets two distinct and mechanistically complementary nodes of the MTAP methylation pathway – MAT2A and PRMT5, providing a complementary approach for targeting MTAP-deletion tumors. The company is prioritizing the AMG 193 clinical combination, and at this time is discontinuing enrollment into the IDE397-001 clinical trial cohorts evaluating IDE397 and chemotherapy combinations. This approach is based on favorable preclinical combination efficacy and tolerability data observed with the IDE397 / AMG 193 combination, and on the proposed target enrollment and budget for the planned global clinical trial pursuant to the Amgen CTCSA;
• Pursuant to the Amgen CTCSA entered into in July 2022, Amgen is the sponsor of the IDE397 / AMG 193 combination study and will execute the clinical trial. Amgen will provide AMG 193, IDEAYA will provide IDE397 and each party will pay for fifty percent (50%) of the external third-party costs of the IDE397 / AMG 193 combination study;
• In August 2022 GSK waived its right to exercise its option to obtain an exclusive license to further develop and commercialize IDE397, as well as other IDEAYA compounds, if any, directly targeting MAT2A; and
