On September 7, 2022, a late breaking abstract providing interim clinical data from Relay Therapeutics, Inc.'s (the "Company") ReFocus trial for RLY-4008, a potent, selective and oral small molecule inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 ("FGFR2"), was published on the European Society for Medical Oncology's ("ESMO") website. The abstract has been selected for an oral presentation at the upcoming ESMO Congress 2022, being held both virtually and in Paris, France, from September 9-13, 2022 (the "ESMO Congress"), on September 11, 2022. A copy of the abstract is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

The Company plans to issue a press release to announce the results of the interim clinical data presented at the ESMO Congress on September 11, 2022 and intends to host a conference call and live webcast on September 12, 2022 at 8:00 am E.T.

Background

Previous, nonselective FGFRi have validated FGFR2 f/r as a target in CCA by achieving an objective response rate (ORR) of ~20-40% with duration of response (DOR) ~5-9 months. However, off-target toxicity and emergence of polyclonal FGFR2 resistance limit their efficacy. RLY-4008 is the first highly selective, potent FGFR2 inhibitor designed to target both driver alterations and FGFR resistance mutations. Here we present the initial efficacy of RLY-4008 in pts with a FGFR2 f/r, FGFRi-naïve CCA.

 

Methods

ReFocus (RLY-4008-101), a Phase 1/2 study (NCT04526106), enrolled pts with advanced solid tumors who received RLY-4008 orally (20-200 mg QD or BID). FGFR2 f/r status was determined by local testing. Key objectives were investigator-assessed ORR per RECIST v1.1, DOR, and safety. Safety was analyzed in all dosed pts and efficacy in pts with FGFR2 f/r, FGFRi-naïve CCA with measurable disease and an opportunity for ≥2 tumor assessments to confirm response.

 

Results

As of 01AUG22, 38 pts with FGFR2 f/r, FGFRi naïve CCA were efficacy evaluable. Most pts received the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D); most (68%) remain on treatment with median duration of 6 months (<0.1 - 18.5 months). Potent efficacy was observed across all doses, particularly at the RP2D with an ORR of 88% (Table). One pt treated at the RP2D had a near-complete response and subsequent tumor resection with curative intent. DOR is not yet mature, with majority of responses ongoing. Across all doses (N=195), the most common treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) were low-grade stomatitis (48%), PPE (46%), and dry mouth (31%). No grade 4/5 TRAEs were observed.

Conclusions
