We look forward to the continued, close collaboration with the FDA as we advance bezuclastinib toward commercialization.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As announced in November 2025, the bezuclastinib combination in the PEAK trial demonstrated a substantial and highly statistically significant clinical benefit on the primary endpoint of progression free survival (PFS), reducing risk of disease progression or death compared to the current standard of care by 50% (hazard ratio of 0.50, 95% CI: 0.39 \u2013 0.65). mPFS, as assessed by blinded independent central review, was 16.5 months for the bezuclastinib combination vs. 9.2 months for sunitinib monotherapy. Additionally, the bezuclastinib combination demonstrated an unprecedented overall response rate (ORR) in imatinib-resistant patients, with 46% of patients treated with the bezuclastinib combination achieving an objective response compared to 26% of patients treated with sunitinib. At the time of this analysis, data for overall survival remains immature.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0bezuclastinib\u00a0combination was\u00a0generally well\u00a0tolerated, and no unique risks were\u00a0observed\u00a0with the novel combination when compared to the known safety profile of sunitinib.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The FDA\u2019s RTOR program allows an applicant to pre-submit components of its NDA to allow the FDA to review clinical trial data before the complete filing is\u00a0submitted\u00a0and aims to provide a more efficient review process to ensure safe and effective treatments are available to patients as early as possible. Cogent is expected to\u00a0initiate\u00a0the RTOR process\u00a0immediately\u00a0with\u00a0completion of the NDA\u00a0submission expected in April 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Full results from the PEAK trial will be presented at a major medical meeting during the first half of 2026. Additionally,\u00a0Cogent\u00a0expects to\u00a0initiate\u00a0in mid-2026 a\u00a0Phase 2 trial investigating the benefit of the\u00a0bezuclastinib\u00a0combination for first-line GIST patients with exon 9 mutations\u00a0who are naive to, or recently\u00a0initiated\u00a0treatment with, imatinib.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Cogent Biosciences, Inc.<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Cogent Biosciences is a biotechnology company focused on developing precision therapies for genetically defined diseases. The most advanced clinical program, bezuclastinib, is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is designed to potently inhibit the KIT D816V mutation as well as other mutations in KIT exon 17. KIT D816V is responsible for driving systemic mastocytosis, a serious disease caused by unchecked proliferation of mast cells. Exon 17 mutations are also found in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), a type of cancer with strong dependence on oncogenic KIT signaling. In addition to bezuclastinib, the Cogent Research Team is developing a portfolio of novel targeted therapies to help patients fighting serious, genetically driven diseases initially targeting mutations in FGFR2\/3, ErbB2, PI3K\u03b1, KRAS and JAK2. Cogent Biosciences is based in Waltham, MA and Boulder, CO. Visit our website for more information at www.cogentbio.com.
