CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Black Diamond Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDTX), a clinical-stage oncology company developing MasterKey therapies that target families of oncogenic mutations in patients with cancer, today announced forthcoming presentations during the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting, taking place May 31 – June 4 in Chicago, IL. The two poster presentations describe data for BDTX-1535 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) across two clinical trials: a Phase 1 dose escalation trial, for which topline data were released in December 2023, and a Phase 0/1 “trigger” (“window of opportunity”) trial conducted as an Investigator Sponsored Trial at the Ivy Brain Tumor Center (NCT06072586).
Presentation details are as follows:

About BDTX-1535
BDTX-1535 is an oral, brain-penetrant MasterKey inhibitor of oncogenic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including classical driver mutations, non-classical driver mutations, and the acquired resistance C797S mutation. BDTX-1535 is a fourth-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that potently inhibits, based on preclinical data, more than 50 oncogenic EGFR mutations expressed across a diverse group of patients with NSCLC in multiple lines of therapy. Based on preclinical data, BDTX-1535 also inhibits EGFR extracellular domain mutations and alterations commonly expressed in glioblastoma (GBM) and avoids paradoxical activation observed with earlier generation reversible TKIs. A “window of opportunity” trial of BDTX-1535 in patients with GBM is ongoing (NCT06072586) and a Phase 2 trial is ongoing in patients with NSCLC (NCT05256290).
