•  Advisory board: Takeda, Astra Zeneca, Eli Lilly, Novartis •  Research support: BeyondSpring Pharmaceuticals

Disclosures

• Genomic alterations in RET, encoding the tyrosine kinase receptor RET (rearranged during transfection), lead to oncogenic signaling

•  RET gene fusions are found predominantly in NSCLC and PTC, whereas activating mutations in the RET gene occur in MTC

•  Activating RET gene fusions have been reported in 1-2% of lung adenocarcinomas; e.g., KIF5B-RET, CCDC6-RET, NCOA4-RET, EML4-RET

•  More than half of the RET fusions in NSCLC involve the KIF5B gene as the fusion partner

Activating RET Alterations Are Oncogenic Drivers

•  High potency against RET fusions and activating mutations •  VEGFR-sparing, with ~500x higher potency against RET than

VEGFR in vitro •  Strong anti-tumor activity in vivo, with tumor regression at clinically

achievable exposures in several PDX models harboring known activating RET fusions

•  Based on analysis of safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics across multiple doses, 275 mg fed, administered orally once daily was selected as the RP2D

•  Clinical exposures of RXDX-105 at the RP2D achieve target thresholds to inhibit RET, while remaining well below estimated threshold for VEGFR2 inhibition

•  The majority of the treatment-related AEs continue to be ≤ Grade 2 and are reversible with dose modifications

•  Thirteen patients (9%) experienced 19 treatment-related SAEs; all except 1 resolved by dose modification or discontinuation

•  Toxicities commonly associated with VEGFR inhibition, such as hypertension, hypothyroidism, proteinuria, and neurotoxicity, were rarely observed

•  RXDX-105 is not associated with QT/QTc prolongation

C4D1 Baseline Clinical Response in an EML4-RET NSCLC Patient

•  68 y/o male with metastatic NSCLC harboring EML4-RET fusion

•  Previously treated with carboplatin and pemetrexed

•  44% initial response after ~2 cycles of RXDX-105 treatment

•  Patient continues to respond and is ongoing in Cycle 4 with 50% reduction from baseline in tumor measurements

12

•  61 y/o female with metastatic NSCLC harboring CCDC6-RET fusion

•  Previously treated with surgery and radiotherapy

•  40% initial response observed after ~2 cycles of RXDX-105 treatment, further response to 60% with resolution of hypermetabolism of multiple osseous and liver metastases

Clinical Response in a CCDC6-RET NSCLC Patient

Baseline C3D1

•  RXDX-105 has demonstrated a manageable safety profile in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors

•  22 RET fusion-positive, RET inhibitor-naïve NSCLC patients treated at the 275 mg or 350 mg QD were evaluable for efficacy

•  Of these, 8 patients harbored RET fusions partners other than KIF5B: CCDC6, EML4, and PARD3 •  ORR of 75% (95% CI: 34.9% - 96.8%) in patients with non-KIF5B-RET fusions •  Additionally, 1 patient had SD for ~6 cycles •  Median DOR has not been reached, with the longest DOR at 10.2 months

•  Of the other 14 patients harboring the KIF5B-RET fusion, none had a RECIST response, although 3 patients had SD lasting ≥ 6 months

•  This disparity in response between tumors with the KIF5B and non-KIF5B fusion partners is consistent with previous pooled efficacy evidence with other RET-active agents, suggesting that KIF5B-RET fusion may be less susceptible to targeted inhibition
