IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. Common Stock 12th Annual Cantor Fitzgerald Global Healthcare Conference
Review the key takeaways and the transcript of this earnings call.
- IDEAYA Biosciences is a precision medicine oncology company with a diversified pipeline.
- The most advanced program, derivative, is in the final NDA submission process for first-line metastatic human melanoma, with three modules submitted and the final soon to be submitted.
- A phase three adjuvant study for derivative has started enrollment with the first patient dosed.
- IDEAYA 49, a GLL3 topo ADC, is focused on small cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine carcinoma, with a successful FDA type C meeting to finalize a phase three study design in later-line small cell lung cancer.
- IDEAYA has two clinical programs targeting MTAP deletion and two collaborations with Roche on pan-RAS inhibitor KRAS G12D, focusing on pancreatic cancer.
- The NDA submission for derivative is on track, with ongoing QC and a completed pre-NDA meeting discussing label options including HLA2 negative and HLA agnostic populations.
- Data on approximately 100 HLA2 positive patients will be presented at ESMO, including response rate, progression-free survival, and median overall survival, with no expected difference in activity by HLA2 status.
- An early OS analysis will be refreshed and provided to the FDA post-submission, with interim OS data to be presented next year.
- IDEAYA is preparing for a potential launch in the first half of next year with a modest sales force of 25 to 30 reps.
- Enrollment delays in the new adjuvant trial are due to stricter eligibility criteria; a phase three adjuvant study has now started enrollment.
- IDEAYA is considering pursuing NCCN guideline listing based on published data and approval.
- For IDEAYA 49 in small cell lung cancer, data from about 100 patients including neuroendocrine carcinoma will be presented at ESMO, with expectations of a confirmed response rate in the 60% range, progression-free survival of 6 to 7 months, and 12-month OS above 50%.
- A global trial with 30 to 40 patients is ongoing, with FDA alignment on doses of 2.4 or 3.5 mg/kg.
- Responses have been observed post-indulgent treatment, and the program may extend to neuroendocrine carcinoma where standard of care is unclear.
- IDEAYA is evaluating a frontline strategy potentially involving novel combinations including PARP inhibitors, aiming for data-driven decisions before launching a frontline study.
- The phase three trial for IDEAYA 49 is expected to have a rapid readout based on response rate and duration of response, with a control arm of Topotecan and Brucent.
- IDEAYA believes the DL3 topo ADC class has a better safety profile and efficacy compared to competitors such as B7H3 ADC, aiming to become the anchor therapy in small cell lung cancer.
- The PMT5 program has collaborations with Roche on pan-RAS and KRAS G12D inhibitors in pancreatic cancer, with data expected over the next 12 months.
- IDEAYA aims to pursue a registrational path for PMT5 monotherapy within a year, focusing on lung cancer and other undisclosed indications.
- A new CDKN2A program is planned to enter the clinic in the first half of next year, potentially combining with PMT5 and pan-RAS therapies in pancreatic cancer.

Great. Lee, thank you so much, and thank you to Cantor for the kind invitation this year. IDEAYA Biosciences, we're a leading precision medicine oncology company. We have a deep, diversified pipeline. Our most advanced program is darovasertib. As Lee, as you're aware, we're going through the final NDA submission process under RTOR. The first three modules have been submitted. The final will get submitted here very shortly, and that's for our attempt to get approval in the first-line metastatic uveal melanoma setting. Beyond that, we have several additional studies ongoing in the pre-metastatic setting, including a phase III adjuvant study, which we announced first patient was dosed this morning. Beyond that, I would focus in on two additional programs. First is IDE849. This is our DLL3 topo ADC. Here, we have a significant focus in small cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine carcinoma.
We did recently announce successful Type C meeting with the FDA to finalize a phase III study design in later line small cell lung cancer. Beyond that, we have a significant focus in MTAP deletion. We have two clinical programs here. We've also announced two recent collaborations with Roche, with both our pan-RAS inhibitor, KRAS G12D, with a primary focus on pancreatic cancer. We have much more in the pipeline, Lee, as you know, but I think if we cover that, we'll cover a lot of the company.
Okay, great. That was a very good high-level overview. I wanted to start with darovasertib submission. Yujiro, you mentioned you're going to submit the second module very soon. What are the gating steps here? I also know you guys have a pre-NDA meeting scheduled. What will be on the agenda for that meeting?
Yeah. In terms of gating items for the final NDA submission, there's nothing specific that's gating now. It's essentially QC that's ongoing for both the overview of clinical efficacy, overview of clinical safety, and the overall clinical overview for the program.
That is really all that is remaining. That process is going well. We very much remain on track, so we feel very good about what that is. In terms of the pre-NDA meeting, that action meeting has now occurred.
The primary discussion that was had as part of that pre-NDA discussion has been around the label and should we be pursuing an all-comers versus an HLA-A2 negative?
I would say here, we have been pleasantly just hearing the enthusiasm around at least a potential opportunity for an all-comers approach. We will have to make that final decision when that final portion of the NDA is submitted, and we will likely provide a public disclosure on what we decided to move forward with. But at least at this time, it is at least good to hear the receptivity from the FDA.
Okay. Yujiro, you mentioned, in terms of the label, the base case scenario for you guys is that you are going to have HLA-A2 negative patients. But it sounds like your dialogue with FDA has been pretty positive in terms of HLA agnostic patient population. Do you feel better about you may be able to get an all-comer label at this point?
Yeah, I would say from when we started the process with RTOR.
Which was largely from when the top-line results happened, which as you know was in that April timeframe. We started that RTOR process within weeks of those top-line results to today. Yes, we do feel more encouraged based on the discussions we've had through RTOR with FDA.
Okay. In terms of thinking about this HLA positive patient population, you guys also mentioned you might be able to pursue compendium listing as an alternative. Maybe talk to us about what the next steps are if you're going to go that route.
Yeah. So here, this would be largely based on the published data.
So, as you know here, Lee, we're going to be publishing data in HLA-A2 positive at ESMO here shortly. I think, as well, we would hope to be able to put that in manuscript form as well as in the future. Then assuming we do get approval and launch, we would then pursue that NCCN guideline process. Typically, they meet once a year, but based on the high unmet need, we think there is an opportunity to hopefully have an ad hoc discussion on that.
Mm-hmm. So it sounds like in terms of the sequence of events, is that you guys are going to be publishing all the data first, get approval, and then pursue a compendium listing. Is that reasonable? That's correct.
Okay. Then, Yujiro, you mentioned that you guys going to be sharing some data at ESMO, maybe some OS data. Maybe give us a quick preview of what we should expect.
