Abstract 5623: Identification of CGT4255 an EGFR sparing, pan-mutant HER2 clinical development candidate with potential best-in-class brain penetration

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract HER2 alterations such as amplification, overexpression, insertions, and point mutations, are established oncogenic drivers in many solid tumors. Activating HER2 mutations are found in 2-4% of advanced lung cancers and have emerged as mechanisms of acquired resistance to targeted therapies. Patients with HER2 mutant lung tumors develop more brain metastasis during treatment than patients with any other oncogenic drivers in lung cancer. Addressing brain metastasis in this group of patients remains a clinical challenge with limited therapeutic options. Approved HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors have inferior potency against key mutations and lack sufficient brain penetration to be an impactful treatment option for patients with brain metastasis. Herein, we describe advanced preclinical profiling of an EGFR-sparing, HER2 inhibitor clinical development candidate CGT4255 with potential best-in-class brain penetrance and potent activity across prevalent point mutations and exon 20 YVMA insertions. CGT4255 demonstrates robust efficacy in intracranial tumor growth inhibition studies and shows an additive effect on intracranial tumor shrinkage when combined with a HER2 ADC. Pre-clinical studies with the CGT4255 and T-DXd combination demonstrate enhancement of ADC internalization, thus highlighting a biological rationale for combination therapy. Citation Format: Mark J.
