Based on promising early evidence of efficacy in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the Company was granted an End of Phase 2 meeting with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October to discuss potential development pathways to support the registration of inhaled KB707.

"The acceleration of our work on inhaled KB707 is a reflection of both the clear and acute unmet need that exists for new treatments of NSCLC and the promising efficacy profile we have observed to date with inhaled KB707," said Suma Krishnan, President of Research and Development of Krystal Biotech. "We look forward to meeting with the FDA and bringing another urgently needed therapeutic option to patients."

Evidence supporting the prioritization of inhaled KB707, including monotherapy activity and durable responses in heavily pre-treated patients with NSCLC, was disclosed by the Company at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting earlier this year. As of data cut-off of April 15, 2025, the objective response rate in this heavily pre-treated NSCLC patient cohort was 36%. Median duration of response and progression free survival were not reached. Inhaled KB707 continued to be safe and generally well tolerated and amenable to administration in an outpatient setting, with no Grade 4 or 5 adverse events observed.

Enrollment continues in the Company’s KYANITE-1 study, a Phase 1/2 open label, multi-center, dose escalation and expansion study evaluating inhaled KB707 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors of the lung. Details of the study can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov under NCT identifier NCT06228326.

With the prioritization of inhaled KB707, the Company has paused enrollment in OPAL-1, a Phase 1/2 open label, multi-center, dose escalation and expansion study evaluating intratumoral KB707 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor malignancies. Patients on OPAL-1 continue to be followed and based on safety and efficacy results from OPAL-1, the Company may adjust development plans for intratumoral KB707. Details of the study can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov under NCT identifier NCT05970497.

"Developed to meet the real-world needs of patients, the new BRUKINSA tablet formulation aims to simplify treatment, reduce pill burden, and enhance ease of administration, reflecting our continuous focus on patient-centered innovation," said Giancarlo Benelli, Senior Vice President and Head of Europe, BeOne. "With more than 200,000 patients treated globally and the broadest label of any BTK inhibitor in Europe, BRUKINSA’s differentiated clinical profile continues to make an impact for people facing certain B-cell cancers."

The recommended dose of BRUKINSA continues to be 320 mg daily. The BRUKINSA tablets are 160 mg each, allowing patients to halve their daily pill intake from four pills to two. Additionally, they are smaller than the capsules and have film coatings, which make them easier to swallow.

Important Safety Information

About BRUKINSA (zanubrutinib)

BRUKINSA is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) designed to deliver complete and sustained inhibition of the BTK protein by optimizing bioavailability, half-life, and selectivity. With differentiated pharmacokinetics compared with other approved BTK inhibitors, BRUKINSA has been demonstrated to inhibit the proliferation of malignant B cells within a number of disease-relevant tissues.

BRUKINSA has the broadest label globally of any BTK inhibitor and is the only BTK inhibitor to provide the flexibility of once or twice daily dosing. Additionally, BRUKINSA is the only BTK inhibitor to demonstrate PFS superiority to a first-generation BTK inhibitor in a Phase 3 study.

The global BRUKINSA clinical development program includes approximately 7,100 patients enrolled in 30 countries and regions across more than 35 trials. BRUKINSA is approved for at least one indication in more than 75 markets, and more than 200,000 patients have been treated globally.
