Recent studies showed that the dysregulated activation of the JAK/STAT pathway, which leads to the prolonged release of IFN-γ, is a significant contributor to the resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer immunotherapy. Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that the combination of JAK inhibitors with PD-1 immunotherapy can reverse or delay onset of immunotherapy resistance by modulating the JAK/STAT pathway in Hodgkin’s lymphoma and NSCLC. Golidocitinib has shown excellent clinical benefits by effectively inhibiting the JAK/STAT pathway, leading to its approval for the treatment of relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (r/r PTCL) in China. Preclinical studies also show that the combination of Golidocitinib and PD-1 antibody has synergistic potentials for anti-tumor effects.

Building on these findings, an exploratory phase Ib clinical study combining golidocitinib with PD-1 antibodies was designed to explore the synergistic effects of this combined regimen in NSCLC patients who have failed from anti-PD-1 containing regimens. This study will enroll 30 locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients who have previously received anti-PD-1 monotherapy or anti-PD-1 therapy with platinum-containing chemotherapy regimens.

"Immunotherapy alone or with chemotherapy is commonly used as front line treatment for NSCLC patients without driver mutations. Unfortunately, resistance is inevitable and once the disease progresses, the prognosis is poor and treatment option is limited." said Xiaolin Zhang, PhD, CEO of Dizal. "The findings we are presenting at ELCC 2025 highlight the potential for Golidocitinib-based combination regimen to delay or overcome the resistance. The preliminary results are very promising and justify further clinical validation."

In addition to the golidocitinib-based combination therapy, positive results from a Phase II study of sunvozertinib in combination with Anlotinib will also be presented. Sunvozertinib combined with anlotinib was well tolerated and demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations who had failed prior EGFR-TKI therapies. As of December 25, 2024, the objective response rate (ORR) and the disease control rate (DCR) were 33.3% and 100%, respectively, in this heavily pre-treated patient population. Enrollment is ongoing and detailed results will be updated at the congress.

About golidocitinib (DZD4205)

Golidocitinib is currently the first and only Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) selective inhibitor being evaluated for the treatment of r/r PTCL. In June 2024, golidocitinib was approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (r/r PTCL).

At the data cut-off date of August 31, 2023, golidocitinib has demonstrated robust and durable anti-tumor efficacy, with an ORR of 44.3%. More than 50% of the patients with tumor remission achieved a complete response with a CRR of 23.9%. Per IRC assessment, mDoR reached 20.7 months. Golidocitinib was granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of r/r PTCL in February 2022. In September 2023, the CDE accepted its NDA and granted Priority Review for the treatment of r/r PTCL. The Phase I clinical data of golidocitinib (JACKPOT8 PART A) was published in Annals of Oncology (Impact Factor: 51.8), and global pivotal trial data of golidocitinib for the treatment of r/r PTCL (JACKPOT PART B) was published in The Lancet Oncology (Impact Factor: 54.4).

About sunvozertinib (DZD9008)

Sunvozertinib is an irreversible EGFR inhibitor discovered by Dizal scientists targeting a wide spectrum of EGFR mutations with wild-type EGFR selectivity. In August 2023, sunvozertinib received approval from NMPA to treat advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins after platinum-based chemotherapies. The approval is based on the results of WU-KONG6 study, the pivotal study of sunvozertinib in platinum-based chemotherapy pretreated NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins. In addition, sunvozertinib also demonstrated encouraging anti-tumor activity in NSCLC patients with EGFR sensitizing, T790M, and uncommon mutations (such as G719X, L861Q, etc.), as well as HER2 exon20ins.

Sunvozertinib showed a well-tolerated and manageable safety profile in the clinic. The most common drug-related TEAEs (treatment-emergent adverse event) were Grade 1/2 in nature and clinically manageable.

Two global pivotal studies are ongoing in ≥ 2nd line (WU-KONG1 Part B) and 1st line setting (WU-KONG28), respectively, in NSCLC patients with EGFR exon20ins.

Pre-clinical and clinical results of sunvozertinib were published in peer-reviewed journals Cancer Discovery and The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.

iOnctura commences randomized Phase II study in metastatic uveal melanoma

On March 20, 2025 iOnctura, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company combating neglected and hard-to-treat cancers, reported it has dosed the first patient in the randomized Phase II OCULE-01 study investigating lead asset roginolisib in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (UM), a rare cancer of the eye (Press release, iOnctura, MAR 20, 2025, View Source [SID1234651329]).

Roginolisib is an orally dosed small molecule allosteric modulator of PI3Kδ. Allosteric modulation is a new archetype for precise inhibition of PI3Kδ, promising clinical activity without the detrimental tolerability seen with previous generations of inhibitors. In the Phase I DIONE-01 study roginolisib demonstrated an excellent safety profile and a doubling of overall survival in metastatic uveal melanoma patients compared to historical controls. With few available treatments, eye melanoma is a rapidly growing market which is projected to be worth USD 9.56B by 2032[1].

The Phase II open label, randomized, parallel-arm OCULE-01 study (NCT06717126), has been designed to assess roginolisib as a monotherapy with the primary objective to evaluate overall survival in patients. The study will have multiple sites across Europe and the US, enrolling approximately 85 patients with metastatic UM, who have progressed following at least one prior therapy.

The secondary objectives of the Phase II study will assess progression free survival, objective response rate, duration of response, time to response, disease control rate, clinical benefit rate, safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, safety, health care utilization and quality of life.

Late in 2024, iOnctura also received Organ Drug Designation (ODD) from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for roginolisib. ODD provides privileged status to drugs that show promise for the treatment of rare diseases in the European Union and qualifies iOnctura for benefits including protocol assistance, market exclusivity and fee reductions. Additionally, in early 2023 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted ODD for roginolisib in UM.

Paul Nathan, Principal Investigator of the Phase II OCULE-01 study said: ‘Roginolisib has so far shown impressive tolerability and an interesting median overall survival of 16 months in patients with uveal melanoma who had progressed on prior systemic therapy. With roginolisib’s attractive safety profile and the encouraging survival data observed in the first-in-human dose study, we look forward to continuing to investigate the potential of roginolisib in patients with limited therapeutic options.’

Catherine Pickering, CEO and Co-Founder of iOnctura added: ‘We have achieved our first significant milestone for 2025 by starting one of several planned randomized Phase II studies for roginolisib. We are excited by the potential of roginolisib across a number of indications including uveal melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer and myelofibrosis, and we look forward to early data readouts by the end of the year.

Marengo Therapeutics Enters Multi-Year Collaboration With University of Pennsylvania Institute for Immunology and Immune Health to Advance Next Wave Precision T Cell Immunology Research in Oncology and Autoimmune Diseases

On March 20, 2025 Marengo Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering novel discovery of reprogramming T cell repertoire for precision immunotherapy in oncology and autoimmune diseases, reported a multi-year research collaboration in oncology and autoimmune diseases with E John Wherry, Ph.D., Director of the Institute for Immunology and Immune Health (I3H) at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine (Penn) (Press release, Marengo Therapeutics, MAR 20, 2025, View Source [SID1234651328]).

The research collaboration with Dr. Wherry and his laboratory will provide deeper insights into the mechanism of action of Marengo’s selective dual T cell agonists in oncology, while also accelerating the development of its novel precision T cell depletion platform (M-STAR) through translational research investigating the use of germline TCR regions in autoimmune diseases.

"By targeting germline-encoded regions of the TCR, Marengo’s foundational platform enables the generation of new classes of selectively targeted T cell therapeutics that we believe will reprogram the T cell repertoire and unlock new therapeutic applications across a range of disease areas," said Andrew Bayliffe, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Marengo. "Partnering with the Wherry lab will improve our understanding of our selective T cell agonists in oncology and expand our pipeline of game-changing precision T cell depleters for autoimmune diseases."

Dr. Wherry, the Richard and Barbara Schiffrin President’s Distinguished Professor and chair of Systems Pharmacology and Translational Therapeutics at Penn, is a leading expert in T cell research. As demonstrated by his seminal work in characterizing mechanisms of T cell exhaustion and T cell checkpoint inhibition in oncology, Dr. Wherry’s research focuses on high-dimensional immune profiling to identify targets that harness the immune system’s ability to fight diverse immunological diseases.

"My team is dedicated to advancing innovative T cell therapies," said Professor Wherry, "The ability to selectively promote activation or depletion of T cell subsets has great potential in oncology and autoimmune diseases, respectively. Further understanding the disease association of these germline TCR regions compared to in healthy populations is relatively understudied and can identify valuable opportunities for precision immunology therapies in a range of diseases."

About LAZCLUZE

In 2018, Janssen Biotech, Inc., entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Yuhan Corporation for the development of LAZCLUZE (marketed as LECLAZA in South Korea). LAZCLUZE is an oral, third-generation, brain-penetrant EGFR TKI that targets both the T790M mutation and activating EGFR mutations while sparing wild-type EGFR. An analysis of the efficacy and safety of LAZCLUZE from the Phase 3 LASER301 study was published in The Journal of Clinical Oncology in 2023.17

About Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Worldwide, lung cancer is one of the most common cancers, with NSCLC making up 80 to 85 percent of all lung cancer cases.18,19 The main subtypes of NSCLC are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.20 Among the most common driver mutations in NSCLC are alterations in EGFR, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase controlling cell growth and division.21 EGFR mutations are present in 10 to 15 percent of Western patients with NSCLC with adenocarcinoma histology and occur in 40 to 50 percent of Asian patients.18,19,22,23,24,25 EGFR ex19del or EGFR L858R mutations are the most common EGFR mutations.26 The five-year survival rate for all people with advanced NSCLC and EGFR mutations treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is less than 20 percent.27,28 EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations are the third most prevalent activating EGFR mutation.29 Patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations have a real-world five-year overall survival (OS) of eight percent in the frontline setting, which is worse than patients with EGFR ex19del or L858R mutations, who have a real-world five-year OS of 19 percent.30

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION1,31

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Infusion-Related Reactions

RYBREVANT can cause infusion-related reactions (IRR) including anaphylaxis; signs and symptoms of IRR include dyspnea, flushing, fever, chills, nausea, chest discomfort, hypotension, and vomiting. The median time to IRR onset is approximately 1 hour.

RYBREVANT with LAZCLUZE

RYBREVANT in combination with LAZCLUZE can cause infusion-related reactions. In MARIPOSA (n=421), IRRs occurred in 63% of patients treated with RYBREVANT in combination with LAZCLUZE, including Grade 3 in 5% and Grade 4 in 1% of patients. The incidence of infusion modifications due to IRR was 54% of patients, and IRRs leading to dose reduction of RYBREVANT occurred in 0.7% of patients. Infusion-related reactions leading to permanent discontinuation of RYBREVANT occurred in 4.5% of patients receiving RYBREVANT in combination with LAZCLUZE.

Based on the pooled safety population (n=281), IRR occurred in 50% of patients treated with RYBREVANT in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, including Grade 3 (3.2%) adverse reactions. The incidence of infusion modifications due to IRR was 46%, and 2.8% of patients permanently discontinued RYBREVANT due to IRR.

RYBREVANT as a Single Agent

In CHRYSALIS (n=302), IRR occurred in 66% of patients treated with RYBREVANT. Among patients receiving treatment on Week 1 Day 1, 65% experienced an IRR, while the incidence of IRR was 3.4% with the Day 2 infusion, 0.4% with the Week 2 infusion, and cumulatively 1.1% with subsequent infusions. Of the reported IRRs, 97% were Grade 1-2, 2.2% were Grade 3, and 0.4% were Grade 4. The median time to onset was 1 hour (range 0.1 to 18 hours) after start of infusion. The incidence of infusion modifications due to IRR was 62% and 1.3% of patients permanently discontinued RYBREVANT due to IRR.

Premedicate with antihistamines, antipyretics, and glucocorticoids and infuse RYBREVANT as recommended. Administer RYBREVANT via a peripheral line on Week 1 and Week 2 to reduce the risk of infusion-related reactions. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infusion reactions during RYBREVANT infusion in a setting where cardiopulmonary resuscitation medication and equipment are available. Interrupt infusion if IRR is suspected. Reduce the infusion rate or permanently discontinue RYBREVANT based on severity. If an anaphylactic reaction occurs, permanently discontinue RYBREVANT.

Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis

RYBREVANT can cause severe and fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis.

RYBREVANT with LAZCLUZE

In MARIPOSA, ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 3.1% of patients treated with RYBREVANT in combination with LAZCLUZE, including Grade 3 in 1.0% and Grade 4 in 0.2% of patients. There was one fatal case (0.2%) of ILD/pneumonitis and 2.9% of patients permanently discontinued RYBREVANT and LAZCLUZE due to ILD/pneumonitis.

RYBREVANT with Carboplatin and Pemetrexed

Based on the pooled safety population, ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 2.1% treated with RYBREVANT in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed with 1.8% of patients experiencing Grade 3 ILD/pneumonitis. 2.1% discontinued RYBREVANT due to ILD/pneumonitis.

RYBREVANT as a Single Agent

In CHRYSALIS, ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 3.3% of patients treated with RYBREVANT, with 0.7% of patients experiencing Grade 3 ILD/pneumonitis. Three patients (1%) permanently discontinued RYBREVANT due to ILD/pneumonitis.

Monitor patients for new or worsening symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). For patients receiving RYBREVANT in combination with LAZCLUZE, immediately withhold both drugs in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed. For patients receiving RYBREVANT as a single agent or in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, immediately withhold RYBREVANT in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed.

Venous Thromboembolic (VTE) Events with Concomitant Use of RYBREVANT and LAZCLUZE

RYBREVANT in combination with LAZCLUZE can cause serious and fatal venous thromboembolic (VTE) events, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The majority of these events occurred during the first four months of therapy.

In MARIPOSA, VTEs occurred in 36% of patients receiving RYBREVANT in combination with LAZCLUZE, including Grade 3 in 10% and Grade 4 in 0.5% of patients. On-study VTEs occurred in 1.2% of patients (n=5) while receiving anticoagulation therapy. There were two fatal cases of VTE (0.5%), 9% of patients had VTE leading to dose interruptions of RYBREVANT, and 7% of patients had VTE leading to dose interruptions of LAZCLUZE; 1% of patients had VTE leading to dose reductions of RYBREVANT, and 0.5% of patients had VTE leading to dose reductions of LAZCLUZE; 3.1% of patients had VTE leading to permanent discontinuation of RYBREVANT, and 1.9% of patients had VTE leading to permanent discontinuation of LAZCLUZE. The median time to onset of VTEs was 84 days (range: 6 to 777).

Administer prophylactic anticoagulation for the first four months of treatment. The use of Vitamin K antagonists is not recommended. Monitor for signs and symptoms of VTE events and treat as medically appropriate.

Withhold RYBREVANT and LAZCLUZE based on severity. Once anticoagulant treatment has been initiated, resume RYBREVANT and LAZCLUZE at the same dose level at the discretion of the healthcare provider. In the event of VTE recurrence despite therapeutic anticoagulation, permanently discontinue RYBREVANT and continue treatment with LAZCLUZE at the same dose level at the discretion of the healthcare provider.

Instruct patients to limit sun exposure during and for 2 months after treatment with RYBREVANT or LAZCLUZE in combination with RYBREVANT. Advise patients to wear protective clothing and use broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen. Alcohol-free (e.g., isopropanol-free, ethanol-free) emollient cream is recommended for dry skin.

When initiating RYBREVANT treatment with or without LAZCLUZE, administer alcohol-free emollient cream to reduce the risk of dermatologic adverse reactions. Consider prophylactic measures (e.g. use of oral antibiotics) to reduce the risk of dermatologic reactions. If skin reactions develop, start topical corticosteroids and topical and/or oral antibiotics. For Grade 3 reactions, add oral steroids and consider dermatologic consultation. Promptly refer patients presenting with severe rash, atypical appearance or distribution, or lack of improvement within 2 weeks to a dermatologist. For patients receiving RYBREVANT in combination with LAZCLUZE, withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue both drugs based on severity. For patients receiving RYBREVANT as a single agent or in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, withhold, dose reduce or permanently discontinue RYBREVANT based on severity.
