4017 Background: First-line mCCA treatment is chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Based on the phase 2 FIGHT-202 trial, pemigatinib was the first FGFR1-3 inhibitor approved in second line and beyond for mCCA with FGFR2 rearrangement. Results from the phase 3, randomized, global FIGHT-302 trial evaluating pemigatinib as first-line therapy are reported here (NCT03656536). Methods: Patients (pts) aged ≥18 y with previously untreated mCCA with FGFR2 rearrangement were randomized 1:1 to receive oral pemigatinib (13.5 mg once daily q21) or intravenous chemotherapy (1000 mg/m 2 gemcitabine + 25 mg/m 2 cisplatin d1,8 q21 ≤8 cycles) stratified by previous receipt of 1 chemotherapy cycle, geographic region, and tumor burden. Pemigatinib crossover was allowed for control arm pts progressing on chemotherapy. Primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary efficacy, safety, and exploratory end points were also analyzed. Results: After prescreening >4000 pts, only 196 had FGFR2 rearrangement and were screened; 167 were randomized to receive pemigatinib (n=83) or chemotherapy (n=84) before closing the study early due to slow accrual. Baseline characteristics and demographics were similar between arms. Median PFS (mPFS) with pemigatinib versus chemotherapy was 8.3 versus 6.8 mo, respectively (hazard ratio [95% CI], 0.58 [0.39-0.87]; nominal P =.0078); secondary efficacy endpoints generally supported primary results (Table). Median OS was similar, although these results are confounded by FGFR inhibitor administration as second-line treatment. In the crossover group (n=42, second-line pemigatinib), mPFS was 8.1 mo. Safety was consistent with previous results (Table). Exploratory analyses of genetic co-alterations associated with treatment response will be presented. Conclusions: FIGHT-302 was the first phase 3 trial of a targeted therapy for untreated mCCA. Pemigatinb demonstrated superior activity and prolonged mPFS compared with first-line chemotherapy. The results confirm the current management paradigm of pemigatinib administration after disease progression on chemotherapy. Clinical trial information: NCT03656536 .

4013 Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is driven predominantly by oncogenic KRAS signaling, yet prior attempts to target the MAPK pathway have been limited by toxicity and emergence of resistance. Atebimetinib is a next-generation, deep cyclic inhibitor (DCI) of MEK designed to achieve pulsatile pathway inhibition with improved tolerability. We report a Phase 2a cohort evaluating atebimetinib in combination with modified gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (mGnP) in the first-line treatment of advanced or metastatic PDAC (NCT05585320). Methods: In this multicenter, open-label, nonrandomized Phase 2a study, patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic PDAC were eligible for participation and were treated with orally administered atebimetinib daily in combination with mGnP (modification: every other week dosing). The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per investigator assessment using RECIST 1.1 criteria in response-evaluable patients. The cohort was powered (~80%, one sided alpha 0.05) using an optimal Simon’s 2-stage design. Results: Fifty-five patients were enrolled and treated with 320 mg atebimetinib daily + mGnP. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (100%); median age was 68 years (range 42-85 years), 62% were ≥65 years, and 55% were male. No grade 5 treatment-related adverse events (AE) were observed. No AE related to atebimetinib were higher than grade 3. Grade 3 AE related to atebimetinib occurred in 29% of participants, with the most frequent being rash (5%), ALT increased (5%), and AST increased (5%). Among the 50 response-evaluable patients, best overall response (BOR) achieved were 21 PR, 21 SD, 7 PD, 1 NE. The ORR was 42%, and DCR was 84%. With a median follow-up of 10.4 months (data cutoff Jan 7, 2026), 6- and 9-month OS rates were 88% and 79%, respectively; median PFS was 8.3 months and median OS was not reached. Conclusions: Atebimetinib in combination with mGnP demonstrated favorable safety and promising efficacy compared to historic standard-of-care (SoC) GnP. 1 A phase 3 registrational trial is planned to start in mid-2026 for evaluation of atebimetinib + mGnP versus SoC GnP. 1.

3146 Background: The MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor BMS-986504 selectively binds to the PRMT5-MTA complex, a synthetic lethal target in MTAP -del cancer cells, while sparing MTAP –wild-type normal cells. In the phase 1 CA240-0007 study, BMS-986504 was well tolerated and had antitumor activity in pts with MTAP -del advanced solid tumors (ORR, 23%; median DOR, 10.5 mo). BMS-986504 also demonstrated dose-dependent reductions in plasma symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) levels, a PD biomarker of PRMT5 inhibition. Here, we report expanded PD and genomic analyses and initial results of exploratory proteomic analyses from CA240-0007. Methods: Pts with advanced, unresectable, or metastatic solid tumors with homozygous MTAP -del received BMS-986504 (50–800 mg) in 3-wk cycles. Analyses of SDMA levels and proteomic profiles from paired plasma samples (baseline and C2D1) were performed using mass spectrometry and SomaScan 11K, respectively. Tumor genomic information was extracted from local pathology reports. ORR was assessed per RECIST v1.1. Results: Among 78 pts with paired samples at data cutoff (22 Sept 2025; median f/u, 15.9 mo), dose-dependent reductions were seen in plasma SDMA levels, with the greatest reductions at 400 mg QD (median, 60.3%; n = 31) and 600 mg QD (median, 60.3%; n = 23). Proteomic pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated downregulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR, Myc target, cell cycle, and DNA damage repair (DDR) pathways with BMS-986504 on C2D1 (n = 87), consistent with the expected effect of PRMT5 inhibition; a trend toward deeper modulation of PRMT5-regulated pathways was observed at higher doses. No proteins at baseline (n = 94) were found to be significantly associated with ORR (false discovery rate > 0.05). Responses in clinically evaluable pts with NSCLC (n = 33) or PDAC (n = 35) were observed regardless of EGFR , KRAS , or TP53 status. In pts with NSCLC, STK11 and SMARCA4 alterations were numerically higher in nonresponders. No gene alterations were associated with response in PDAC, except GABRA6 alterations (n = 2, both responders). A trend toward higher ORRs was seen in pts with alterations in DDR genes ( CHEK2, FANCD2, XRCC4 , and/or MSH2 ), consistent with the role of PRMT5 in DDR via regulation of mRNA splicing. ctDNA analysis will be presented. Conclusions: BMS-986504 demonstrated robust dose-dependent PD effects in pts with advanced solid tumors in plasma SDMA and proteomic analyses. Downregulation of PRMT5-regulated pathways was observed with BMS-986504 treatment. Response was seen regardless of EGFR, KRAS , and TP53 alterations in NSCLC or PDAC, and DDR gene alterations were associated with improved response. These findings further support the MOA of BMS-986504 and its ongoing investigation in the phase 2/3 MountainTAP-9, -29, and -30 studies as a potential treatment option in pts with MTAP -del advanced solid tumors.

3109 Background: Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is an enzyme that catalyzes the removal of poly-ADP-ribose (PAR) chains from proteins during DNA damage repair. PARG inhibition leads to selective cell death in tumors with underlying replication fork defects, including BRCAm tumors, through a mechanism distinct from PARP inhibition. ETX-19477 is an oral, potent, and selective PARG inhibitor that shows robust preclinical activity in mouse models of ovarian, breast, and gastric cancers. Methods: ERADIC8 is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1/2 study, consisting of two parts, dose escalation and dose expansion. A Bayesian Optimal Interval Design was used to enroll patients (pts) into dose escalation cohorts, with enrichment for pts with BRCAm high grade serous ovarian (HGSOC) and breast cancers. The primary objective is to assess safety/tolerability of ETX-19477 and define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose(s). Secondary and exploratory objectives include pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity per RECIST v1.1. ETX-19477 is given orally once or twice daily in 21-day cycles. Results: As of Jan 6 2026, 45 pts were enrolled into the study across 11 dose levels (range: 80-750 mg QD, 190-350 mg BID). Tumor types included ovarian (n=24, BRCAm: 18), breast (n=8, BRCAm: 7), endometrial (n=6, BRCAm: 0), colorectal (CRC, n=3, BRCAm: 1), and other (n=4, BRCAm: 0) cancers. Treatment-related AEs (TRAEs; any grade) occurring in >20% of pts were nausea (53%), vomiting (38%), and fatigue (24%). The only Gr3 TRAE occurring in >5% of pts was neutropenia (16%). There was one Gr4 TRAE of neutropenia in 1 pt (2%) and no Gr5 TRAEs. ETX-19477 exposure is dose proportional, and the BID regimen achieves >85% PARG inhibition throughout the dosing interval in a blood-based PAR accumulation pharmacodynamic assay. As of the data cutoff, dose escalation is ongoing at 350 mg BID (MTD has not been defined) and dose expansion is ongoing at 200-300 mg BID. Among BRCAm, HGSOC pts enrolled at BID dose levels, there were 7 evaluable pts with a median of 4 prior lines of therapy (range 2–11): 2 pts achieved a partial response (PR, 29%) and 3 pts achieved stable disease (SD, 43%). Both pts with PRs were platinum-resistant and received prior PARP inhibitor treatment. 1 pt with BRCAm CRC remains on active therapy (250 mg BID) with SD for 7 months. Conclusions: ETX-19477 was well tolerated and showed anti-tumor activity in heavily pretreated pts with BRCAm, platinum-resistant HGSOC during dose escalation. These findings provide the first clinical proof-of-concept of PARG inhibition in HGSOC. ETX-19477 is being further evaluated in the dose expansion phase of the study.

3014 Background: Macrocyclic next-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have transformed outcomes in ALK- and ROS1-positive NSCLC; such creatively designed medicines are similarly needed to improve outcomes in EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Using a novel, mutant-selective macrocyclic structure, BH-30643 was designed for super-potency against driver EGFRm, largely sparing wildtype (WT) EGFR, and with unique invulnerability to resistance from C797S with or without T790M. Here we report emerging first-in-human dose-escalation data from the SOLARA trial (NCT06706076). Methods: Phase 1 dose escalation used a BOIN design with backfill at potentially efficacious doses. Expansion cohorts targeted populations of interest. Patients (pts) had advanced NSCLC with EGFR and/or HER2 mutations detected on local testing (tissue or plasma). Measurable disease was required; asymptomatic untreated brain metastases (BM) were permitted. Objectives included safety, PK, and RECIST response rate (ORR). Plasma NGS was performed at baseline and on treatment. Results: As of 01/05/2026, 72 pts enrolled into dose escalation and backfill across 7 dose levels at a total daily dose of 20mg -160mg, median age 62, 44% Asian, 65% with history of BM, median of 3 prior lines of treatment (range 1-12). EGFR mutations included classical (38 pts), exon20ins (14 pts) and other/atypical (18 pts) or HER2 mutations (2 pts). Plasma exposures at doses of 40mg BID and above achieved > 10x coverage over target EC90 and exceeded exposure levels of most contemporary EGFR TKIs. Common TRAE ( > 10%) were WT EGFR-associated, including diarrhea (38%), rash (28%), fatigue (15%), stomatitis (13%), and were predominantly grade 1. Bilirubin elevation was seen in 26 pts (36%) related to off-target UGT1A1 inhibition (Gilbert’s-like). Grade 3 TRAE were seen in 15 pts (18%), most commonly bilirubin (8/15); DLTs included bilirubin increase and mucositis, occurring at doses ≥ 60mg BID. No pneumonitis was observed. Responses were observed across diverse EGFRm subsets, including in CNS. Including expansion pts, 28 pts enrolled with C797S on their most recent informative molecular testing (6 with concurrent MET+ or KRAS+), with 23 still on therapy. Of 17 with on-treatment scans, partial responses (confirmed or ongoing) were seen in 10 (59%); ORR was comparable with (50%) or without (66%) T790M. Of 9 pts with baseline C797S detected in ctDNA (3 with T790M), 7 had > 99% reduction of C797S VAF on treatment. Conclusions: Leveraging a novel macrocyclic scaffold, BH-30643 is the first TKI monotherapy to demonstrate clinical responses against C797S both with or without T790M. High plasma exposures combined with super-potency, CNS activity, and favorable safety offers potential for deep and durable EGFR inhibition. Enrollment into backfill and expansion cohorts is ongoing to better characterize activity in both TKI-naïve and resistant pts. Clinical trial information: NCT06706076 .

2016 Background: Bevacizumab therapy (Bev) for recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) has not demonstrated improved overall survival (OS) in randomized clinical trials. However, single-center and preliminary multi-center studies suggest that relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) measured with dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI) at baseline or shortly after treatment initiation may predict response to Bev. The primary aim of ECOG-ACRIN EAF151 was to evaluate whether early binary change in rCBV, assessed 2–3 weeks after initiation of Bev-containing therapy, identifies patients with an OS benefit of ≥4 mos. Pre-specified secondary aims assessed baseline rCBV; post-hoc exploratory analyses examined early post-Rx rCBV. Methods: A prospective, phase II multi-center trial without randomization enrolled subjects with rGBM receiving their first Bev-containing therapy. Progression was determined by local sites (RANO criteria; MRI within 28 days of registration, ≥42 days since end of chemoradiation). Baseline (S0) and follow-up (S1) DSC-MRI were performed before the first Bev infusion (within 3 days), and 12-25 days post-infusion but before the second infusion. Anatomic MRI and DSC-MRI (double-dose Gadavist injection, full-dose preload) complied with recommended protocols. Mean normalized (nRCBV) and standardized (sRCBV) rCBV were extracted from contrast-enhancing tumor ROIs. A 2-sided logrank test (α=0.1) was used to test the primary aim (change in mean nRCBV from S0 to S1, ≥0 vs. <0). Cox regression with restricted cubic splines was used to assess the association between continuous rCBV markers and OS. Results: 146 subjects were accrued from 33 sites. 134 completed S0 and 118 completed both S0 and S1. After exclusion of uninterpretable scans, 107 were evaluable for change in rCBV, and 124 for baseline rCBV. There was no statistically significant difference in OS between subjects with binary increase (n=40; median OS 8.0 mos [90% CI 5.5–9.2]) vs. decrease (n=67; 7.9 mos [90% CI 6.3–10.3]) in mean nRCBV (p=0.67). Based on the spline fits, we observed a strong nonlinear association between OS and continuous nRCBV and sRCBV at both S0 and S1: low marker values are associated with lower risk, but beyond a threshold, higher values are not associated with greater risk. As an exploratory analysis, we estimated optimal cut points (nRCBV: S0=1.11, S1=1.16; sRCBV: S0=1.13, S1=0.99) and found that subjects whose S1 rCBV decreased below threshold had a median OS 2.7 mos (nRCBV, HR 0.61 [90% CI 0.41–0.88]) and 5.2 mos (sRCBV, HR 0.43 [90% CI 0.28–0.63]) longer than subjects whose rCBV either increased or did not decrease below threshold. Conclusions: EAF151 prospectively evaluated whether DSC-MRI markers predict OS in patients with rGBM treated with Bev. Although the change in these markers was not predictive, both baseline and early post-Rx markers were predictive of OS. Clinical trial information: NCT03115333 .

10610 Background: The role for genetic testing (GT) for prostate cancer (PCa) patients (pts) has expanded to find pts with germline pathogenic variants (PV) for therapeutic opportunities given FDA-approvals for PARP inhibitors in metastatic PCa as well as understanding familial cancer risk and opportunities for tailored screening and risk reduction. The PROMISE Registry (NCT04995198) was set up as a genetic registry to partner with PCa pts for rapid access to a new standard of care given insurance coverage and clinical implementation were initially major barriers. A second goal is to characterize disease features and treatment outcomes to inform management and provide updates about novel therapeutic clinical trials, both of which remain important to rare genetic variant carriers. Methods: PROMISE is a US decentralized prospective PCa genetic registry initiated in 2021 with initial phase to enroll and provide clinical-grade germline genetic testing (30 gene cancer-specific panel) to 5,000 PCa pts to identify ~500 PCa pts with variants of interest (pathogenic variants, PV, and variants of uncertain significance, VUS) in DNA repair genes for long-term clinical follow-up of 15 years (LTFU). Here, we report the initial phase testing results and identification of the LTFU cohort. Study design and enrollment strategy have been reported separately. Results: Between 2021-2026, 7,275 pts with any stage PCa across 50 US states self-consented to PROMISE, of which 5,674 (78%) of pts completed genetic testing, indicating feasibility of patient-directed, decentralized enrollment. We have identified 495 (8.7%) pts for LTFU. Baseline data is reported for n=367 (Table 1, will be updated at time of presentation). The most frequently observed PV/LPV variants being in CHEK2 (25%) , BRCA2 (23%) , ATM (12%) , and BRCA1 (4.6%). At the time of PCa diagnosis, the majority of LTFU pts had non-metastatic disease, with 47% of pts with Gleason>7, median PSA of 5 ng/mL, and median time from diagnosis to PROMISE GT of 25 months. Conclusions: PROMISE is a nationwide decentralized PCa genetic registry that has completed initial goal to recruit 5,000 PCa pts to offer germline genetic testing and recruit a cohort of 500 for LTFU. Data about diagnosis characteristics are reported, and analysis of ongoing disease course, treatment response/outcomes and overall survival is being collected.

10520 Background: Therapeutic options for breast cancer (BC) prevention for high-risk women remain limited, and not all eligible patients opt for endocrine therapy due to concerns related to adverse events (AEs). GLP1RAs are widely used for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus; their role in BC primary prevention (PP) in high-risk women with obesity has not been evaluated. Methods: Using the TriNetX Global Network (150 million patients, 108 organizations), we analyzed de-identified records of high-risk women aged 18–90 years with a BMI ≥ 30 who had health care encounters between January 1, 2000, and January 1, 2025, identified via ICD-10 codes. High risk was defined as at least one of the following: genetic predisposition to BC, family history of BC, atypical ductal hyperplasia, atypical lobular hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ, or dense breasts. Patients were grouped as having GLP1-RA use or no GLP-1RA use. Patients with a prior history of BC or use of endocrine therapy were excluded. GLP-1RA users were propensity score-matched 1:1 with non-users based on demographics, comorbidities, social determinants of health, lifestyle factors, BMI, HbA1c, and prior breast imaging. Incident BC served as the primary endpoint, with key AEs as secondary measures. Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards models were utilized to assess outcomes, which were further validated through subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Results: Among 80,480 high-risk women with a BMI ≥ 30, 46,581 were assigned to each cohort. Baseline demographics were balanced between cohorts (mean age: 46 years, 70% White, 21% Black). Median follow-up was 2,790 vs 2,630 days for GLP-1RA users and non-users, respectively. BC incidence was 2.95% in GLP-1RA users (1,164/39,495 cases) vs 3.01% in non-users (1,200/39,057 cases) (3.27 vs. 3.57 cases per 1,000 person-years; HR 0.844; 95% CI, 0.779–0.915). GLP-1RA users exhibited an increased risk of endometrial cancer (HR 1.273; 95% CI, 1.088–1.491) and osteoporosis (HR 1.124; 95% CI, 1.054–1.199). No significant association was observed for venous thromboembolism. Gastrointestinal AEs were significantly higher in the GLP-1RA cohort. Conclusions: GLP-1RA use was associated with a modest reduction in BC incidence among high-risk women with obesity in this real-world study. Prospective randomized trials are needed to validate these associations.

Background: Asymptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic arterial stenosis (ICAS) is an underrecognized entity for which vascular risk-factor optimization is the primary management strategy, with no current indication for routine antiplatelet therapy or endovascular intervention for primary stroke prevention. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) reduce major adverse cardiovascular events, including stroke, in high-risk cardiometabolic populations, but their association with outcomes in asymptomatic ICAS is yet to be evaluated. The present study aims to evaluate the association between GLP-1RA use and cerebrovascular outcomes in adults with asymptomatic ICAS. Materials and Methods: We used the TriNetX US Collaborative Network (71 healthcare organizations) to identify adults (≥18 years) with ICAS between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2025, and excluded patients with prior cerebral infarction, intracranial hemorrhage, or cerebrovascular ischemic syndromes. Exposure was defined as initiation of any GLP-1 receptor agonist (lixisenatide, semaglutide, liraglutide, tirzepatide, dulaglutide) during the 6 months before or on the date of index ICAS diagnosis. Outcomes were assessed at 1 year, and included ischemic stroke, all-cause mortality, and a composite of ischemic stroke or mortality. Propensity-score matching (1:1) was performed, including demographics, vascular risk factors, comorbidities, antithrombotics, lipid/diabetes therapies, and cardiometabolic laboratory/physiologic measures. Results: Before matching, 1746 GLP-1RA users and 71,792 non-users met inclusion criteria; after matching, 1728 patients remained in each cohort. GLP-1RA use was associated with lower 1-year risk of ischemic stroke (4.40% vs. 6.10%; hazard ratio [HR] 0.70, 95% CI 0.52–0.95; p = 0.044), lower all-cause mortality (3.40% vs. 9.40%; HR 0.35, 95% CI 0.26–0.47; p < 0.001), and lower composite outcome risk (7.50% vs. 15.00%; HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.39–0.59; p < 0.001). Notably, these associations were observed despite matching for HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, BMI, and systolic blood pressure, suggesting potential effects beyond measured cardiometabolic risk profiles. Conclusions: In this large, propensity-matched cohort of adults with a-ICAS, GLP-1RA use was associated with lower ischemic stroke, all-cause mortality, and composite outcome at 1 year. These findings are hypothesis-generating and require further prospective studies to confirm this observation.
