IDEAYA Biosciences Announces First-Patient-In for Phase 1/2 Combination Trial of IDE397, A Potential First-in-Class MAT2A Inhibitor, and Trodelvy® in MTAP-Deletion Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

, /PRNewswire/ -- IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDYA), a leading precision medicine oncology company, today announced they have enrolled their first patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the ongoing Phase 1/2 combination trial of IDE397, a potential first-in-class, small molecule adenosyltransferase 2a (MAT2a) inhibitor, and Trodelvy® (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy), a Trop2-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), in patients with methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP)-deletion solid tumors. IDEAYA is conducting the trial pursuant to a clinical study collaboration and supply agreement with Gilead, where the initial focus was in MTAP-deletion urothelial cancer (UC). In April 2025, the companies announced expansion of the combination trial into MTAP-deletion NSCLC. "We are encouraged by the preliminary expansion data from our Phase 1/2 combination trial with IDE397 and Trodelvy in MTAP-deleted bladder cancer and excited to have dosed the first patient in the non-small cell lung cancer cohort. This marks an important step in our broader clinical strategy to evaluate the combination across multiple solid tumors with MTAP-deletion," said Darrin Beaupre, Chief Medical Officer, IDEAYA Biosciences. "MTAP-deletion is found in up to 20% of non-small cell lung cancer and remains an area with no approved targeted therapies. We're pleased to expand our collaboration with IDEAYA and explore the potential of this novel combination in a patient population with limited treatment options," said Bilal Piperdi, MD, Vice President, Clinical Development Oncology at Gilead Sciences. Pursuant to the clinical study collaboration and supply agreement, IDEAYA and Gilead retain the commercial rights to their respective compounds, including with respect to use as a monotherapy or combination agent. IDEAYA is the study sponsor, and Gilead will provide the supply of Trodelvy to IDEAYA. Trodelvy is currently approved in more than 50 countries for second-line or later metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients and in more than 40 countries for certain patients with pre-treated HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. The use of Trodelvy in MTAP-deletion NSCLC and UC is investigational, and the safety and efficacy of this use have not been established. IDE397 monotherapy or in combination with Trodelvy has not been approved by any regulatory agency and the efficacy and safety of this combination has not been established. Trodelvy and Gilead are trademarks of Gilead Sciences, Inc., or its related companies.
