  • These preclinical data demonstrate that THE-349, as a single agent, exhibits highly potent inhibition of all major EGFR mutant variants with a high degree of kinome and wild-type EGFR selectivity.
  • The activity profile achieved by THE-349 positions the asset for development as a single agent and potentially in combination with other, non-EGFR inhibitor modalities.
  • Deep and/or complete tumor regression in an osimertinib-resistant, patient-derived (PDX) NSCLC model harboring heterogeneous EGFR mutant variants (D and DTC).
