IDEAYA Biosciences宣布IDE849（DLL3 Topo-I ADC）FDA Type C会议成功，计划2026年底启动ES-SCLC注册性三期试验

- Based on FDA Type C meeting, targeting to initiate a randomized Phase 3 registrational trial for IDE849 monotherapy by year-end 2026 in ES-SCLC, with ORR by BICR as the primary endpoint for potential accelerated approval and median OS as the primary endpoint for potential full approval
- Dose evaluation ongoing of 2.4mg/kg and 3.5 mg/kg IV Q3W to determine the RP3D
- Target enrollment for the Phase 3 study will be ~400 ES-SCLC patients, randomized 1:1 treatment vs. investigator's choice
- Clinical data updates for IDE849 in 100 ES-SCLC and NEC patients by partner Hengrui at ESMO 2026 and the IDEAYA sponsored Phase 1/2 clinical trial in ES-SCLC and NEC in Q4 2026 to support a potential best-in-class profile
- IDE849 is being evaluated in clinical combinations with PDL1 and IDEAYA's PARG inhibitor IDE161 to determine a potential 1L SCLC Phase 3 registrational trial design
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDYA), a precision medicine oncology company committed to the discovery and development of targeted therapeutics, announced a successful FDA Type C meeting to determine the Phase 3 registrational trial design for IDE849, a potential best-in-class delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3)-targeting Topo-I-payload antibody drug conjugate (ADC), in extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). IDEAYA is targeting to initiate the Phase 3 registrational study in ES-SCLC by year-end 2026.
"Based on the FDA Type C meeting, we are targeting to initiate a randomized Phase 3 registrational study for IDE849 monotherapy in extensive stage small cell lung cancer to enable a potential accelerated approval and full approval in one seamless study design," said Yujiro S. Hata, President and Chief Executive Officer, IDEAYA Biosciences. "We also look forward to the clinical data updates at ESMO 2026 and later this year from our company sponsored clinical trial in ES-SCLC and NEC to support a potential best-in-class profile."
The anticipated enrollment target for the IDEAYA-sponsored global Phase 3 registrational study is approximately 400 ES-SCLC patients with prior tarlatamab treatment. The study will be randomized 1:1 between the treatment and an investigator's choice control arm that will include topotecan and ambrucin. The primary endpoint for accelerated approval will be overall response rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review (BICR) and the primary endpoint for full approval will be median overall survival. The secondary endpoints will include median duration of response by BICR, progression free survival, safety, among others.
IDEAYA has an ongoing multi-site global Phase 1 clinical trial for IDE849 in DLL3 upregulated solid tumor indications, including SCLC, and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC) (NCT07174583). The study is enrolling patients globally, including in North America, Europe, Australia, South America, and Asia. In this ongoing Phase 1 dose escalation study, IDE849 is currently evaluating the expansion doses of 2.4 mg/kg and 3.5 mg/kg IV once every 3-weeks (Q3W) to determine the recommended Phase 3 dose (RP3D).
In addition, IDE849 is being evaluated in clinical combination study with AstraZeneca's PDL1 inhibitor Imfinzi, and IDEAYA's potential first-in-class Phase 1 PARG inhibitor, IDE161, to determine a potential first-line (1L) SCLC Phase 3 registrational trial design. IDE161 prevents the removal of poly(ADP-ribose) chains generated by PARP during the DNA damage response, leading to persistent PARylation and impaired resolution of DNA repair complexes. Together with TOP1-payload ADCs, this unique mechanism-of-action results in sustained TOP1 cleavage complexes and the accumulation of DNA damage that delivers enhanced anti-tumor activity. We believe this potential first-in-class combination has the potential to enhance durability of IDEAYA's TOP1-payload based ADC pipeline, including IDE849 and IDE034 (Phase 1 B7H3/PTK7 Bispecific TOP1 ADC).
DLL3 has been reported to be upregulated in multiple solid tumor types, including in SCLC, NEC and melanoma, among others. IDEAYA estimates the annual incidence of SCLC and NEC in the United States is approximately 34,000 and 19,000 patients, respectively. DLL3 has limited extracellular expression in normal tissues, making it a promising potential therapeutic target in these solid tumors, for which there remains significant unmet medical need.
