About RP-1664

RP-1664 is a potential first-in-class, highly selective, oral PLK4 inhibitor designed to harness the synthetic lethal relationship with TRIM37 amplification or overexpression in solid tumors. Tumors rely on PLK4 for centriole biogenesis in S-phase of the cell cycle when TRIM37, an E3 ligase that reduces pericentriolar material, is high. Preclinical studies demonstrate that RP-1664 selectively inhibits PLK4 and drives potent synthetic lethality in TRIM37-high tumor models, both in vitro and in vivo. Elevated TRIM37 is a feature found across a range of solid tumors and in approximately 80% of all high-grade neuroblastomas. RP-1664 is the only selective PLK4 inhibitor known to be in the clinic.

The data, which will be presented at an oral session, will include two-year clinical efficacy, immunogenicity and safety data. More specifically, data will be presented on best overall response, deepened response/conversion rates and durability of response. Furthermore, the presentation will include data on the breadth, magnitude and duration of T-cell response upon booster immunization as well as data on the vaccine’s safety profile.

"We are eagerly anticipating the presentation of the data and the subsequent discussions with medical and scientific colleagues as well as potential partner companies. We are excited to have been selected for oral presentation at an event as important as the ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) Congress, one of the most prestigious medical oncology conferences in the world. This is a testament to the interest in EVX-01 and the field of personalized cancer vaccines in general," says Birgitte Rønø, CSO and interim CEO of Evaxion.

Evaxion will be present and available for discussions at a booth (#3035) throughout the conference to allow for interactions and discussions of the data with all interested stakeholders.

Convincing data
Designed with Evaxion’s AI-Immunology platform, EVX-01 is a personalized cancer vaccine currently being evaluated as a treatment for advanced melanoma (skin cancer). The trial has yielded numerous convincing data already, including interim one-year data presented at the ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) Congress last year.

Data demonstrated a 69% Overall Response Rate, reduction in tumor target lesions in 15 out of 16 patients, and a positive correlation between the AI-Immunology platform predictions and immune responses induced by the individual neoantigens in the EVX-01 vaccine (p=0.00013). Further, the most recent immune data demonstrates that 80% of EVX-01 vaccine targets triggered a tumor-specific immune response.

The phase 2 trial investigates EVX-01 in combination with MSD’s (Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA) anti-PD-1 therapy, KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) in patients with advanced melanoma (skin cancer). Each patient enrolled in the trial has received a unique vaccine designed and manufactured based on their individual biology.

Key findings of the abstract include:

– Intra-tumoral (IT) BT-001 injection in combination with intravenous (IV) pembrolizumab was well tolerated with a manageable safety profile.

– The data show encouraging and sustained anti-tumor activity in patients with advanced refractory tumors. One patient with PD(L)-1 resistant melanoma and one patient with heavily pretreated and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI)-naive leiomyosarcoma showed partial response (iPR) lasting 6 and 16 months respectively, among the 13 patients who received the combination of IT BT-001 (at 107 pfu/mL and 108 pfu/mL) and IV pembrolizumab.

– Tumor shrinkage was observed in both injected and non-injected lesions.

– BT-001 could be an effective option to improve the response to ICI in refractory patients.

The abstract is available on the ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) website (here). The poster will be presented on October 20 during ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) 2025 and will also be available to view on Transgene’s website.

BT-001 is an oncolytic virus generated using Transgene’s Invir.IO platform and its patented large-capacity VVcopTK-RR- oncolytic virus, which has been engineered to encode both a Treg-depleting recombinant human anti-CTLA-4 antibody generated by BioInvent’s proprietary n-CoDeR/F.I.R.S.T platforms, and the human GM-CSF cytokine.

BT-001 is being co-developed as part of a 50/50 collaboration between Transgene and BioInvent. In the Phase I part of this study, BT-001 was well tolerated both as monotherapy and in combination with MSD’s (Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA) anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab)*.

The Phase I/IIa study (NCT04725331) is a multicenter, open label, dose-escalation study evaluating BT-001 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab*. The last patient in the Phase I part was enrolled in August 2024.

Treatment with BT-001 converted "cold" tumors into "hot" ones, and induced T-cell infiltration, as well as PD(L)-1 expression in the tumor microenvironment (ESMO 2024, access press release here).

About Small Cell Lung Cancer and Zocilurtatug Pelitecan (zoci)

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal solid tumors, accounting for ~15% of the approximately 2.5 million patients diagnosed with lung cancer worldwide each year1,2. Additionally, two-thirds of all SCLC patients are diagnosed at extensive stage3.

DLL3 is an antigen overexpressed in many neuroendocrine tumors, such as SCLC, and is often associated with poor clinical outcomes. Zocilurtatug pelitecan (zoci), formerly known as ZL-1310, comprises a humanized anti-DLL3 monoclonal antibody connected via a cleavable linker to a novel camptothecin derivative (a topoisomerase 1 inhibitor) as its payload. The compound was designed with a novel ADC technology platform called TMALIN, which leverages the tumor microenvironment to overcome challenges associated with first-generation ADC therapies.

Zoci received an Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2025, recognizing its potential to treat patients with SCLC.

Late-breaking DATROWAY (datopotamab deruxtecan) data from the TROPION-Breast02 phase 3 trial (LBA21), representing the first trial ever to demonstrate a significant improvement in overall survival compared to chemotherapy as first-line treatment for patients with locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) for whom immunotherapy is not an option, will be featured in a proffered paper session.

"Data from these three landmark trials demonstrate how the DXd ADC portfolio of Daiichi Sankyo continues to transform standards of care for patients with breast cancer. The findings from DESTINY-Breast11 and DESTINY-Breast05 highlight the potential of ENHERTU to become a foundational treatment in the curative-intent settings of HER2 positive early breast cancer," said Ken Takeshita, MD, Global Head, R&D, Daiichi Sankyo. "Additionally, the DATROWAY results from TROPION-Breast02 represent the first time ever that an overall survival benefit has been demonstrated in the first-line setting of patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer for whom immunotherapy is not an option. Couple these impressive results for DATROWAY with previous results seen with ENHERTU in the HER2 positive, HER2 low and HER2 ultralow disease settings, Daiichi Sankyo will now have two medicines with the potential to treat approximately 90 percent of patients with metastatic breast cancer."

Additional breast cancer data at ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) includes a mini oral presentation of data from Arm 7 and Arm 8 of the BEGONIA phase 1/2 trial (555MO) evaluating DATROWAY plus durvalumab in patients with first-line metastatic TNBC. The efficacy and safety of this combination strategy is being further investigated in three phase 3 trials – TROPION-Breast03, TROPION-Breast04 and TROPION-Breast05 – across stages and treatment settings of TNBC.

Trials Supporting Three Recent Breakthrough Therapy Designations Showcased
Data from additional late-stage trials – DESTINY-Breast09, REJOICE-Ovarian01 and IDeate-Lung01 – that supported three recent Breakthrough Therapy Designations (BTD) in the U.S. for ENHERTU, raludotatug deruxtecan (R-DXd) and ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) will be showcased at ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper).

Two late-breaking proffered paper sessions will highlight the primary analysis from the phase 2 part of the REJOICE-Ovarian01 phase 2/3 trial (LBA42) of raludotatug deruxtecan in patients with previously treated platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, and additional analyses of key subgroups of interest from the DESTINY-Breast09 phase 3 trial (LBA18) evaluating ENHERTU plus pertuzumab versus THP (taxane, trastuzumab, pertuzumab) for the first-line treatment of patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer. Results of DESTINY-Breast09 formed the basis for a supplemental Biologic License Application in the U.S. for ENHERTU, which was recently granted Priority Review under the Real-Time Oncology Review program.

Detailed results highlighting the intracranial activity of ifinatamab deruxtecan from the IDeate-Lung01 phase 2 trial (2760MO) in patients with previously treated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) and baseline brain metastases will be highlighted during a mini oral session. The primary results of IDeate-Lung01 were presented last month at the 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer (#WCLC25).

Progress Continues in Multiple Cancers Across the DXd ADC Portfolio of Daiichi Sankyo
Additional mini oral sessions at ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) will feature the first presentation of data from two early phase trials from the DXd ADC portfolio of Daiichi Sankyo. These include preliminary results from the first-in-human phase 1/2 trial of DS-3939 (917O), the sixth DXd ADC in clinical development, in patients with previously treated advanced solid tumors refractory to standard treatment, as well as initial results from a sub-study of the TROPION-PanTumor03 phase 2 trial (3072MO) evaluating DATROWAY plus rilvegostomig, AstraZeneca’s PD-1/TIGIT bispecific antibody, in patients as first-line or second-line locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma.

Final analyses from two trials – DESTINY-CRC02 and DESTINY-PanTumor02 – that supported the tumor agnostic indication of ENHERTU, which is now approved in more than 10 countries/regions worldwide, will be presented. A mini oral session will feature the final analysis from the DESTINY-CRC02 phase 2 trial (737MO) of ENHERTU in patients with previously treated HER2 positive metastatic colorectal cancer while two poster presentations will highlight the final results (957P) and an exploratory biomarker analysis (145P) from part 1 of the DESTINY-PanTumor02 phase 2 trial in patients with previously treated HER2 expressing solid tumors. Additional regulatory submissions seeking a tumor agnostic approval in patients with HER2 positive metastatic solid tumors currently are under review in the EU and Japan.

Further sub-analyses from the DESTINY-Gastric04 phase 3 trial of ENHERTU versus ramucirumab plus paclitaxel in the second-line treatment of patients with HER2 positive metastatic gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma will be presented as a poster presentation (2099P) reporting the concordance of central HER2 testing with local HER2 testing along with additional efficacy and safety analyses. Data from DESTINY-Gastric06, a phase 2 trial in patients from China with HER2 expressing advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma who have received at least two prior regimens including a fluoropyrimidine agent and a platinum agent, will be presented in two poster presentations. The first poster (2105P) will feature an analysis of patients that received prior anti-HER2 treatment other than or in addition to trastuzumab. The second poster (2175P) will report the risk of hepatitis B virus reactivation in patients with past or resolved HBV or inactive chronic HBV infection treated with ENHERTU.

Updates of progress in lung cancer include a mini oral session reporting updated results from a phase 1/2 trial of gocatamig (2758MO), a DLL3 targeting T-cell engager being jointly developed by Merck, in patients with small cell lung cancer and other neuroendocrine cancers, as well as a poster presentation that will highlight the initial safety results from a phase 1b trial of valemetostat (2023P), a dual EZH1 and EZH2 inhibitor, in combination with DATROWAY in patients with previously treated advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Trials-in-Progress Across Daiichi Sankyo’s Oncology Portfolio
Several trials-in-progress poster presentations at ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) further highlight the Daiichi Sankyo R&D strategy of continuing to expand the DXd ADC portfolio to address a broad spectrum of unmet needs for patients with cancer.

A trial-in-progress poster will highlight the design of the DESTINY-Endometrial01 phase 3 trial (1223TiP) evaluating ENHERTU in combination with rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab versus platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) in combination with pembrolizumab as a first-line therapy in patients with HER2 expressing (IHC 3+/ 2+), mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.

Three phase 2 trials-in-progress will include the HERTHENA-Breast03 trial (463eTiP) evaluating neoadjuvant patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd) plus pembrolizumab before or after pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy in patients with high-risk early-stage TNBC or HR low positive/HER2 negative breast cancer; the REJOICE-GI01 trial (1001TiP) evaluating the efficacy and safety of raludotatug deruxtecan in patients with gastrointestinal cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, biliary tract and colorectal cancer; and, the KEYMAKER-U01 sub-studies 01H/01I (2081eTiP) evaluating ifinatamab deruxtecan, raludotatug deruxtecan or docetaxel in patients with stage IV NSCLC.

The design of two additional early phase trials will be shared, including the phase 1/2 trial (2792TiP) evaluating ifinatamab deruxtecan and gocatamig in patients with relapsed/refractory ES-SCLC and a phase 1b trial (977P) of valemetostat in combination with ipilimumab in patients with refractory genitourinary tumors, including prostate cancer, urothelial carcinomas and renal clear cell carcinoma.
