The FDA has granted the application Priority Review and assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of November 30, 2026. In addition, the FDA communicated that at this time, there is no plan to hold an advisory committee, nor have they identified any potential review issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to announce that our bezuclastinib NDA for patients with GIST has been accepted for review by the FDA,\u201d said Andrew Robbins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cogent Biosciences. \u201cWe look forward to presenting the full, groundbreaking results from the PEAK trial at ASCO this weekend, and our preparations for expected bezuclastinib launches in both GIST and systemic mastocytosis later this year are well underway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>PEAK Phase 3 Trial Results<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>As reported in November 2025, PEAK is a\u00a0global,\u00a0randomized Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating\u00a0bezuclastinib\u00a0in combination with sunitinib\u00a0vs. sunitinib monotherapy in patients with imatinib-resistant or intolerant GIST.\u00a0As of the cutoff date,\u00a0September\u00a030, 2025, the bezuclastinib combination demonstrated a substantial and highly statistically significant clinical benefit on the primary endpoint of 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 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. Data for overall survival remains immature.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>Safety Data<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>As of the data cutoff, the bezuclastinib combination was generally well tolerated, and no unique risks were observed with the novel combination when compared to the known safety profile of sunitinib. \u200bThe most commonly reported Grade 3+ treatment emergent adverse events in either arm (bezuclastinib combination vs. sunitinib) included: Hypertension (29.4% vs. 27.4%), Neutropenia (15.2% vs. 15.4%), ALT\/AST increased (10.8% vs. 1.4%), Anemia (9.3% vs. 4.8%) and Diarrhea (7.8% vs. 7.2%). 7.4% of patients on the bezuclastinib combination and 3.8% of patients on sunitinib monotherapy discontinued study treatment(s) due to treatment related adverse events. Hepatic adverse events were predominantly transient and manageable lab abnormalities; the majority of which were low grade, non-serious, reversible and asymptomatic. In the combination arm, ALT\/AST elevations led to bezuclastinib dose reductions in 12.7% of patients with only 3 subjects (1.5%) discontinuing bezuclastinib for ALT\/AST elevations. All Grade 3 ALT\/AST elevations resolved, and no Grade 4 elevations were reported.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>PEAK Phase 3 \u2013 ASCO Oral Presentation Details<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Abstract Title:\u00a0<\/strong>Primary Results of the Phase 3 Peak Study of bezuclastinib + sunitinib vs sunitinib Monotherapy in Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST)<br \/><strong>Abstract Number for Publication:\u00a0<\/strong>11500<br \/><strong>Presenter:\u00a0<\/strong>Andrew J.

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, the Cogent Research Team is developing a portfolio of novel targeted therapies to help patients fighting serious, genetically driven diseases targeting mutations in 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.
