Topline combination data for zelenectide pevedotin plus pembrolizumab in first-line metastatic urothelial cancer demonstrated a 60% overall response rate, in line with existing therapies

Dose selection and topline data from Phase 2/3 Duravelo-2 trial planned for 2H 2025

Heavily pretreated breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer patients with NECTIN4 gene amplification and/or polysomy demonstrated an enhanced response to zelenectide pevedotin

Excerpt from the Press Release:

CAMBRIDGE, England & BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bicycle Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ: BCYC), a pharmaceutical company pioneering a new and differentiated class of therapeutics based on its proprietary bicyclic peptide (Bicycle^®) technology, today announced the presentation of data showing the enhanced anti-tumor activity of zelenectide pevedotin monotherapy in breast cancer patients with NECTIN4 gene amplification at the 2024 San Antonio Breast Conference Symposium (SABCS) in San Antonio, Texas. The company also announced topline combination data for zelenectide pevedotin plus pembrolizumab in previously untreated (first-line) cisplatin-ineligible patients with metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC), provided an enrollment and timeline update for the company’s Phase 2/3 Duravelo-2 trial and shared topline monotherapy data for zelenectide pevedotin in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with NECTIN4 gene amplification. Bicycle Therapeutics will host a conference call and webcast tomorrow, Dec. 13, at 8 a.m. ET to review the data updates for zelenectide pevedotin and discuss its development strategy leveraging NECTIN4 gene amplification. Management will be joined by oncology experts Sherene Loi, M.D., Ph.D., from the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia, and Niklas Klümper, M.D., from the University Hospital Bonn in Germany.

“The totality of the data shared today builds on the breadth of previously reported data for zelenectide pevedotin that we believe, when combined with our ambitious development strategy leveraging NECTIN4 gene amplification, position Bicycle as a leader in addressing Nectin-4 associated cancers,” said Bicycle Therapeutics CEO Kevin Lee, Ph.D. “We are encouraged by the topline zelenectide pevedotin data in combination with pembrolizumab in first-line mUC patients, which demonstrate zelenectide pevedotin’s response data are in line with other drug conjugates used to treat mUC while its safety and tolerability profile continues to be differentiated. Additionally, we are very pleased with our progress in enrolling our Duravelo-2 registrational trial for zelenectide pevedotin in mUC and look forward to providing dose selection and topline data in the second half of next year.
