(\u201cTerns\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (Nasdaq: TERN), a clinical-stage oncology company, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to TERN-701, a novel, oral allosteric BCR::ABL1 inhibitor, for the treatment of adult patients with Ph+ CML in the chronic phase without the T315I mutation previously treated with two or more TKIs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere remains an urgent need for CML treatments that offer improved efficacy, safety, and tolerability over current therapies,\u201d said Scott Harris, chief development and operations officer at Terns. \u201cThis designation from the FDA supports the significant potential of TERN-701 to be a best-in-disease therapy for CML patients and offer substantial improvement based on the faster, deeper responses compared to prior TKIs and encouraging safety and tolerability profile observed to date.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Breakthrough Therapy Designation, along with the recent agreement for Merck to acquire Terns, has the potential to accelerate efforts to advance TERN-701 to a pivotal trial and to patients,\u201d said Amy Burroughs, chief executive officer of Terns. \u201cThis is an exciting time for everyone involved in the TERN-701 program. We are grateful to the investigators, patients and community advocates whose dedication and support have made these advancements possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) is intended to expedite the development and review of potential new medicines designed to treat serious conditions or address significant unmet medical needs. Based on FDA guidelines, the medicine needs to have shown encouraging preliminary clinical evidence that demonstrates potential for substantial improvement over available medicines.<\/p>\n<p>TERN-701 BTD is based on data from the ongoing Phase 1\/2 CARDINAL clinical trial of TERN-701 in patients with CML previously treated with at least one prior TKI and who experienced treatment failure, suboptimal response or treatment intolerance. TERN-701 has shown promising activity, with encouraging rates of major molecular response and deep molecular response observed at week 24. Importantly, this includes responses in patients with high baseline disease burden who previously received multiple lines of therapy, including many who were treated with an allosteric TKI. The majority of treatment-emergent adverse events were reported as low grade with a low incidence of severe adverse events and discontinuations.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Terns Pharmaceuticals<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Terns Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage oncology company reimagining known biology to deliver high impact medicines. Our lead program, TERN-701, is a highly selective, oral, allosteric BCR::ABL1 inhibitor with a potentially best-in-disease profile that could meaningfully improve upon the efficacy, safety and convenience of existing treatments for chronic myeloid leukemia.
