Clinical Update
On April 13, 2026, IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) and Servier, an independent international pharmaceutical group governed by a foundation, announced clinical data from the Company’s Phase 2/3 registrational trial, OptimUM-02, evaluating darovasertib in combination with crizotinib (darovasertib combination) in patients with first-line (“1L”) HLA-A*A2:01-negative metastatic uveal melanoma (“mUM”).
The darovasertib combination met the trial’s primary endpoint of a statistically significant improvement in median progression-free survival (“PFS”) relative to the investigator choice of therapy (ICT) arm as assessed by blinded independent central review (“BICR”). The secondary endpoints in the study include overall response rate (“ORR”) and duration of response (“DOR”). The topline results were from a total of 313 patients enrolled in the Phase 2b/3 portion of the trial as of the cut-off date of January 23, 2026. The PFS analysis was based on a total of 159 events.
OptimUM-02 is a global, randomized Phase 2/3 trial in 1L HLA-A*A2:01-negative MUM evaluating the darovasertib combination arm of 210 patients versus the ICT arm reflective of real-world clinical practice that consists of 103 patients. The ICT arm was composed of 76% (n=78) ipilimumab plus nivolumab (anti-CTLA-4/PD-1) and 24% (n=25) pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1). The primary endpoint is median PFS as assessed by BICR, which will be used to support an initial New Drug Application (“NDA”) submission in the United States.
The Company reported that patients treated with the darovasertib combination reduced their risk of disease progression as assessed by BICR by 58% (Hazard Ratio of 0.42; 95% CI: 0.30, 0.59; p-value: <0.0001) and achieved a statistically significant improvement in median PFS of 6.9 months versus 3.1 months in the ICT arm. The Company also reported that ORR by BICR in the darovasertib combination and ICT arm was 37.1% and 5.8% (p-value: <0.0001), respectively. There were 5 complete responses by BICR observed in the darovasertib combination arm, and no complete responses observed in the ICT arm. The median DOR in the darovasertib combination arm was 6.8 months. The overall survival (“OS”) data is not mature. However, the Company observed that, in the OptimUM-02 study, there is an early trend in improvement in OS with the darovasertib combination arm versus the ICT arm. The darovasertib combination was generally well-tolerated with a manageable safety profile consistent with prior reported results and known side-effects of each drug. The most common Grade 3+ treatment emergent adverse events included diarrhea, syncope, and hypotension. The treatment related serious adverse events rate in the darovasertib combination was in the single digit percent range.
Based on these data, the Company will target to submit an NDA to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the second half of 2026. The Company plans to provide additional details from OptimUM-02 at a major medical conference in 2026.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained herein are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements related to the clinical significance and potential therapeutic benefit of darovasertib in combination with crizotinib; the interpretation of the topline results from the OptimUM-02 trial; the potential for the combination to become a new standard of care for first-line HLA-A*02:01-negative metastatic uveal melanoma; the sufficiency of the trial results to support regulatory submissions; the preliminary trends in overall survival data; the safety and tolerability profile of darovasertib combination; the timing and plans for submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) in the second half of 2026; the potential for accelerated approval in the United States; the timing and content of future data presentations; the development, regulatory and commercial plans for darovasertib; and the potential market opportunity for the combination therapy. Such forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, assumptions and beliefs and involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, including, but not limited to, those related to IDEAYA’s clinical programs, commercial activities, and performance and/or achievements, to differ significantly and/or materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the uncertainties inherent in the drug development process, including the process of designing and conducting preclinical and clinical trials, enrollment rates, safety outcomes, efficacy results, regulatory interactions and decisions, and the ability to translate preclinical findings into clinical benefit, manufacturing and supply risks, competition, changes in standard of care, the timing and success of commercialization efforts, the outcome of collaborations and licensing arrangements, IDEAYA’s ability to successfully establish, protect and defend its intellectual property, and other matters that could affect the sufficiency of financial resources to fund operations. IDEAYA undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. A further description of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business of IDEAYA in general, are in IDEAYA’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including IDEAYA’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed on February 17, 2026 and any current and periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
