Advanced Malignant Solid Neoplasm

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA I October 30, 2024 I TheRas, Inc. d/b/a BridgeBio Oncology Therapeutics (“BBOT” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on RAS-pathway malignancies, has announced that the first patient has been dosed with BBO-10203 in the BREAKER-101 trial. BBO-10203 is a first-in-class orally bioavailable RAS:PI3Ka breaker that blocks the interaction between RAS and PI3Kα to inhibit PI3Kα-AKT signaling in tumors, without directly inhibiting the catalytic activity of PI3Kα. “I am thrilled to partner with BBOT to bring a potentially transformable new therapeutic to the clinic,” said Dr. Minal Barve, Chief Medical Officer and Principal Investigator at Mary Crowley Cancer Research, Dallas, TX. “BBO-10203 represents a first-in-class drug with potential to address high unmet medical needs and change the landscape of cancer care. We look forward to evaluating BBO-10203 in the BREAKER-101 trial.” BBO-10203 was designed to bind covalently and selectively to the RAS-binding domain (RBD) of PI3Kα. This selective inhibition is agnostic to the mutational status of PI3Kα and RAS, and in preclinical models, results in complete inhibition of RAS-driven pAKT signal at single digit nanomolar concentration. Additionally, no hyperglycemia was observed in preclinical species treated with BBO-10203. The discovery of BBO-10203 was the result of a collaboration between the RAS Initiative at Frederick National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and BBOT. “BBO-10203 is a first-in-class program that inhibits the interaction of the two most mutated oncogenes in human cancer, and it will allow us to test, for the first time, the importance of RAS-coordinated activation of the MAPK and AKT signaling pathways,” said Pedro Beltran, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of BBOT. “The discovery of BBO-10203 was made possible by the dedicated collaboration between academic, national laboratory, and industry experts that synergized to advance medicines for patients suffering from cancer.” The BREAKER-101 trial will enroll patients globally with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer, KRAS mutant advanced colorectal cancer, and KRAS mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer. “There is a tremendous opportunity to improve the standard of care in oncology by inhibiting oncogenic pAKT signaling without the metabolic side effects observed with kinase inhibitors, and the initiation of the Phase 1 study of BBO-10203 marks an important milestone in this regard,” said Yong (Ben) Ben, MD, Chief Medical and Development Officer of BBOT. “The second IND within six months of establishing BBOT clearly demonstrates our team’s capability in advancing our novel programs into the clinic. This novel mechanism and scientific rationale behind it will allow tremendous combination opportunities that optimally inhibit both pAKT and pERK – an approach we hope will bring unprecedented benefit to patients with RAS-driven cancers.” About TheRas, Inc. d/b/a BridgeBio Oncology Therapeutics (BBOT) BridgeBio Oncology Therapeutics (BBOT) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing a next generation pipeline of novel small molecule therapeutics targeting RAS and PI3K malignancies. Initially formed as a subsidiary of BridgeBio, BBOT completed a $200M private financing with external investors in 2024 with the goal of improving outcomes for patients with cancers driven by the two most prevalent oncogenes in human tumors.

AKTive-001 is a Phase 1/1b study of ALTA2618 in adults with AKT1 E17K-mutant solid tumors ALTA2618 is the first clinical mutant-selective inhibitor of AKT SAN DIEGO, CA, USA I October 30, 2024 I Alterome Therapeutics, Inc. , a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering the development of next generation, small molecule targeted therapies for the treatment of cancer, today announced the dosing of the first patient in AKTive-001, a Phase 1/1b trial of ALTA2618 in adults with AKT1 E17K-mutant advanced solid tumors. ALTA2618 is the first mutant-selective allosteric inhibitor of AKT1 E17K and is designed to avoid on-target toxicities associated with inhibition of AKT family kinases. AKT1 E17K is a clinically validated oncogene that drives ~5% of breast cancer, particularly hormone positive disease, and 1-2% of all cancer, including endometrial (~3%) and prostate (~2%) cancers. “Dosing the first patient in the AKTive-001 trial marks a significant milestone for Alterome as we advance the first program from our mutation-selective and isoform-selective discovery pipeline to the clinic,” said Eric Murphy, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO of Alterome Therapeutics. “ALTA2618 was designed to selectively target the AKT1 E17K mutation by pioneering a novel covalent approach to capture the lysine mutation. From concept to clinic, ALTA2618 illustrates the relentless execution of our team and dedication to developing novel mutation-selective therapies that will improve outcomes for patients with cancer.” AKTive-001 is a Phase 1/1b, open-label, dose escalation and multiple expansion cohort study evaluating ALTA2618 as an oral monotherapy. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary clinical activity of ALTA2618 in patients aged 18 years or above with AKT1 E17K-mutated advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumors (NCT06533059). Additional clinical sites across Europe, Asia and Australia will initiate enrollment over the next year. About Alterome Therapeutics, Inc. Alterome Therapeutics, Inc. is a precision oncology biotech developing alteration-specific therapeutics to address high-value and validated oncogenic drivers. The company is led by an expert team of precision oncology R&D leaders with a history of developing marketed oncology small molecule drugs. For more information, visit www.alterome.com .

近日，君赛生物基因修饰型TIL疗法GC203在I期临床试验(KUNLUN-001)研究分中心重庆大学附属肿瘤医院完成首例受试者细胞回输，患者于10月25日顺利出院。受试患者与临床研究者对GC203的临床安全性、操作简便性给予高度评价。 GC203是全球首款非病毒载体基因修饰TIL疗法，于2024年4月28日经NMPA批准进入临床试验，是目前国内唯一一个正式开展注册临床试验的基因修饰TIL疗法。 该产品针对常规TIL疗法依赖大剂量化疗清淋预处理，大剂量IL-2注射的临床痛点，采用独特的细胞培养工艺、基因修饰技术与基因结构设计，在安全性、有效性、可及性方面具有潜在优势，并通过亲历临床的受试者与研究者的实证。 1年半前，该受试者确诊为卵巢癌IVB期，经历2次手术和多次化疗、靶向治疗后，仍未阻止肿瘤复发和转移。面对疾病进展，备受煎熬。 历经传统治疗的屡屡受挫，不得不将目光转向临床阶段的创新疗法。但面对临床试验的未知风险，尤其是获悉常规TIL疗法繁琐流程与清淋化疗、IL-2注射的不良反应，陷入犹豫迷茫。 最终，GC203无需清淋级预处理、无需IL-2注射的临床方案部分打消了她的顾虑。并且，得悉能在普通病房接受治疗，可以时刻得到家人陪伴与鼓励，进一步缓解了紧张情绪并增强信心。 在回输过程中，仅出现持续几小时的发热，对症处理后很快恢复；不良反应只有化验单上呈现的一过性血象降低，后自行恢复，出院时身体状态一切良好。出院前，欣喜地与医护合影留念，对疗效充满期待。（案例来自重肿临床研究，阅读原文请点击本链接） 重庆大学附属肿瘤医院I期病房的主要研究者龚奕主任曾亲自管理过常规TIL项目，对清淋化疗与IL-2注射引发的不良反应拥有切身体验，对应急处理种种不良反应的场景印象深刻。 龚主任表示：“新一代基因修饰型TIL GC203 较既往管理过的常规TIL项目在安全性上有巨大的提升，不良反应一直在可预知可控范围内，大幅度减轻了医生和护理团队的处理难度和心理压力，这和GC203 TIL仅需低强度预处理和无需IL-2注射有密切关系，期待在疗效评估时展示卓越的治疗成效。” 关于GC203   GC203依托君赛生物自主开发、全球领先的DeepTIL®细胞富集扩增与NovaGMP®基因修饰技术平台开发而成，通过非病毒载体介导的基因工程技术，使天然TIL细胞稳定表达膜结合型、可自发聚集的细胞因子IL-7。此前已斩获国家科技部“全国颠覆性技术创新大赛”最高奖项，并入选颠覆性技术储备库。 无需IL-2注射、仅需低强度化疗预处理、普通病房内接受GC203回输治疗后，多例恶性程度高、多线治疗失败的妇科肿瘤患者肿瘤明显缩小，且长期缓解。其中，所有入组的宫颈癌患者，肿瘤均不同程度明显缩小；对铂类耐药的卵巢癌患者，可高比例客观缓解。3例患者肿瘤被完全清除，达到CR疗效。同时，接受TIL细胞回输并得到疾病控制的患者，未再行后续放化疗，生活质量得到明显改善。 GC203前期临床试验的数据已于2024年美国临床肿瘤学会(ASCO)上公布（详见君赛生物GC203摘要已公布于ASCO网站）。 关于KUNLUN-001  临床试验  GC203 TIL-ST-I(KUNLUN-001)项目是一项I期、单臂、开放标签的临床试验，旨在评价GC203 TIL细胞疗法治疗晚期恶性实体瘤患者的安全性、耐受性，以及初步有效性，并探索可能与疗效相关的生物标志物。 主要入组标准： 1、18-75岁，男女不限； 2、确诊的宫颈癌、卵巢癌、子宫内膜癌、乳腺癌、消化系统肿瘤、肺癌等； 3、经标准治疗失败或缺乏有效治疗方法； 4、至少2个病灶，身体可支持微创手术取材； 5、ECOG评分0-1分； 6、有足够的血液学和终末器官功能。 主要排除标准： 1、有严重基础性疾病； 2、有重大传染性疾病； 3、脑转移且导致器质性精神障碍； 4、1年内接受过基因工程改造细胞治疗。 联系方式： 临床邮箱：clinicaltrials@juncell.com 联系电话：021-69990503 杨老师：18019732895（同微信） 张老师：18001759113（同微信） 温馨提示： 为了提高研究者的审核效率，建议提前收集整理好如下材料： 1、近期影像报告(最好能动态查看)； 2、近期血常规、血生化报告； 3、近期重大传染病报告(乙肝、丙肝、梅毒、艾滋)； 4、治疗病史。
