IDEAYA Biosciences (NASDAQ: IDYA) has announced the granting of non-qualified stock options to four newly hired employees through its 2023 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan. The Compensation Committee approved options to purchase 185,400 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $19.07 per share, matching the closing price on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the grant date.
The stock options, granted under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4), feature a 10-year term with a four-year vesting schedule: 25% vesting after the first year, followed by monthly installments over three years. These inducement grants are specifically designed for new employees who were not previously with IDEAYA, contingent upon their continued service with the company.
IDEAYA Biosciences (NASDAQ:IDYA) has announced a successful FDA Type D meeting regarding the Phase 3 registrational trial design for darovasertib as neoadjuvant therapy for primary uveal melanoma (UM). The company plans to initiate the Phase 3 randomized trial in H1 2025, involving approximately 520 patients randomized 2:1 to treatment versus control.
The trial will include two cohorts: 120 enucleation-eligible UM patients and 400 plaque brachytherapy (PB) eligible patients. For the enucleation cohort, the primary endpoint is eye preservation rate, while the PB cohort's primary endpoint focuses on vision loss measurement. Both cohorts require no detriment to Event-Free-Survival as a secondary endpoint.
Darovasertib, a protein kinase C inhibitor, has received FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for neoadjuvant therapy in enucleation-recommended primary UM and Fast Track designation for combination therapy in metastatic UM. The trial will use 300mg BID darovasertib as the move-forward dose.
IDEAYA Biosciences (IDYA) has initiated a Phase 1/2 expansion study evaluating the combination of IDE397, its MAT2A inhibitor, with Trodelvy® in MTAP-deletion urothelial cancer (UC). The expansion is based on preliminary safety and clinical efficacy data.
IDE397 is a potent and selective small molecule inhibitor targeting MAT2A in solid tumors with MTAP-deletion, which affects approximately 26% of UC patients. The combination represents a potential first-in-class treatment approach for MTAP-deletion UC, addressing an unmet medical need with no currently approved targeted therapies.
A clinical program update on the IDE397-Trodelvy combination is expected in 2025. Additionally, IDEAYA plans to initiate a combination trial of IDE397 with IDE892, their MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor, in the second half of 2025.
IDEAYA Biosciences (NASDAQ: IDYA) has announced its participation in two upcoming investor relations events in April 2025. The company will participate in:

IDEAYA Biosciences (NASDAQ: IDYA) has received FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) for darovasertib, a first-in-class protein kinase C inhibitor, for neoadjuvant treatment of adult patients with primary uveal melanoma (UM) recommended for enucleation.
The BTD application was supported by Phase 2 clinical data showing 82% ocular tumor shrinkage rate and 61% eye preservation rate in UM patients. The company plans to initiate a Phase 3 registrational study in neoadjuvant UM in H1 2025.
Neoadjuvant UM represents a significant market opportunity with approximately 12,000 annual patients across North America, Europe, and Australia, with no FDA-approved systemic therapies currently available. The company plans to present updated clinical data, including efficacy, safety, and vision preservation metrics, at medical conferences in mid-2025 and H2 2025.
