• Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) recommends move-forward dose in Part 2a of potential registration-enabling trial in 1L HLA-A2-Negative MUM, based on clinical efficacy and safety observed
• Over 185 patients enrolled in potential registration-enabling trial in 1L HLA-A2-Negative MUM, and the darovasertib and crizotinib combination has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Fast Track designation in MUM

Excerpt from the Press Release:

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDYA), a precision medicine oncology company committed to the discovery and development of targeted therapeutics, today announced the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) recommendation of a move-forward dose and the completion of the Part 2a dose optimization consistent with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Project Optimus guidelines for the potential registration-enabling Phase 2/3 trial evaluating the combination of darovasertib and crizotinib in the first-line (1L) setting in patients with HLA-A2-negative (HLA-A2(-)) metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM).

“We are pleased with the recommendation of the IDMC and the selection of the move-forward dose for our potential registration-enabling trial evaluating the darovasertib and crizotinib combination in first-line HLA-A2(-) MUM patients. This allows us to complete the Part 2a portion of the study and seamlessly continue to enroll in Part 2b towards a potential accelerated approval based on the primary endpoint of median progression free survival,” said Darrin M. Beaupre, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer, IDEAYA Biosciences.

“The combination of darovasertib and crizotinib as first-line treatment has shown compelling preliminary clinical results in patients with HLA-A2(-) MUM. The IDMC recommendation of the move-forward dose supports the advancement of this potentially registration-enabling Phase 2/3 trial and is an important step in bringing a new treatment option to patients with MUM. Additionally, the continued rapid enrollment further validates the strong interest from physicians and patients, and highlights the significant unmet need in these patients, who historically have faced a poor prognosis,” added Meredith McKean, M.D., MPH, Director, Melanoma and Skin Cancer Research at Sarah Cannon Research Institute, and clinical investigator on the potential registration-enabling clinical trial.
