Relay Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Corporate Highlights
Shared 88% overall response rate (ORR) from interim data of RLY-4008 in pan-FGFR treatment (FGFRi)-naïve
FGFR2-fusion cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) patients treated at the pivotal dose at European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress
$1.1 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investments at the end of third quarter 2022
Cambridge, MA – November 3, 2022 – Relay Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLAY), a clinical-stage precision medicine company transforming the drug discovery process by combining leading-edge computational and experimental technologies, today reported third quarter 2022 financial results and recent corporate highlights.
“We continue to deliver on our execution focus for 2022 and the third quarter uniquely exemplified this,” said Sanjiv Patel, M.D., Relay Therapeutics’ president and chief executive officer. “We presented interim data at the ESMO Congress that demonstrate an 88% overall response rate at the pivotal dose of RLY-4008 and further support our hypothesis that selective inhibition of FGFR2 can improve the treatment for patients with FGFR2-driven tumors. The interim data demonstrate the potential power of our Dynamo platform to build transformative therapies for patients. We continue to build momentum upon our achievements this year and we believe we have the team, platform and capital to deliver upon numerous milestones.”
