Incyte And Mirati Therapeutics Enter Into Clinical Trial Collaboration and Supply Agreement to Evaluate INCB99280 and Adagrasib in Patients with KRASG12C-Mutated Solid Tumors

Incyte (NASDAQ:INCY) and Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRTX), a clinical-stage targeted oncology company, today announced a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement to investigate the combination of INCB99280, Incyte’s small molecule PD-L1 inhibitor, and adagrasib, a KRASG12C selective inhibitor.

“While monoclonal antibodies targeting PD‑L1 or PD-1 have transformed the treatment landscape in oncology, they are limited by their route of administration and long-half life and receptor occupancy which can affect the management of immune-related adverse events,” said Lance Leopold, M.D., Group Vice President, Clinical Development Hematology and Oncology, Incyte. “Incyte’s small molecule, oral PD-L1 program has shown promising safety and efficacy in early studies – INCB99280’s shorter half life may result in improved management of immune mediated adverse events and better clinical outcomes. We are pleased to collaborate with Mirati to conduct the first clinical trial of INCB99280 plus adagrasib, two orally-bioavailable molecules, in patients with KRASG12C-mutated solid tumors.”

“We are pleased to enter into this agreement with Incyte, supplying adagrasib for evaluation in combination with INCB99280,” said Charles Baum, M.D., Ph.D., President, Founder and Head of Research and Development, Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. “This agreement is part of our rational combination strategy for adagrasib and further demonstrates our focus to evaluate this asset in a broad range of combinations, including with novel approaches to checkpoint inhibition, to benefit people living with difficult-to-treat cancers.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Incyte will initiate and sponsor the Phase 1/1b study of INCB99280 and adagrasib in patients with KRASG12C-mutated solid tumors. Mirati will supply Incyte with adagrasib for the study.

About INCB99280

INCB099280 is a potent and selective small molecule oral PD-L1 inhibitor which has demonstrated promising clinical activity and safety in patients with solid tumors. INCB099280 will be evaluated in Phase 2 studies as monotherapy and in combination with other antitumor agents.

About Adagrasib (MRTX849)

Adagrasib is an investigational, highly selective, and potent oral small-molecule inhibitor of KRASG12C that is optimized to sustain target inhibition, an attribute that could be important to treat KRASG12C-mutated cancers, as the KRASG12C protein regenerates every 24-48 hours. Studies of adagrasib have shown that the drug has a long half-life and extensive tissue distribution, and is well tolerated. In clinical trials, adagrasib also has shown, central nervous system penetrance and single-agent responses in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer and other solid tumors with KRASG12C mutations. Adagrasib is being evaluated in several clinical trials in combination with other anti-cancer therapies in patients with advanced solid tumors. Registration-enabling studies are ongoing in NSCLC and colorectal cancer. For more information visit Mirati.com/science.
