IDEAYA Biosciences (NASDAQ:IDYA) has submitted an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA for IDE892, a potential best-in-class MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor targeting MTAP-deletion solid tumors. The company plans to initiate a Phase 1 dose escalation trial in MTAP-deleted lung cancer in Q4 2025.

The clinical development strategy includes advancing to combination trials with IDE397, IDEAYA's proprietary MAT2A inhibitor, in H1 2026. The target market is significant, with 15-20% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases being MTAP-deleted. The company will also evaluate IDE892 in other MTAP solid tumor indications, both as monotherapy and in combination with IDE397.

IDEAYA Biosciences (NASDAQ:IDYA) ha presentato alla FDA una domanda IND per IDE892, un potenziale inibitore PRMT5 cooperativo con MTA, candidato a best-in-class per tumori solidi con delezione di MTAP. L'azienda prevede di avviare una sperimentazione di Fase 1 con escalation di dose in carcinoma polmonare con delezione di MTAP nel IV trimestre 2025.

La strategia clinica prevede di passare a studi in combinazione con IDE397, l'inibitore MAT2A proprietario di IDEAYA, nella prima metà del 2026. Il mercato target è rilevante: circa 15-20% dei casi di carcinoma polmonare non a piccole cellule (NSCLC) presenta delezione di MTAP.

Insights

IDEAYA's IND filing for IDE892 advances their precision medicine pipeline targeting a genetic vulnerability in 15-20% of lung cancers.

IDEAYA Biosciences has submitted an IND application for IDE892, a PRMT5 inhibitor designed to target tumors with MTAP deletion, a genetic alteration present in approximately 15-20% of non-small cell lung cancer cases. This development represents a significant milestone in their precision oncology pipeline.

The scientific rationale behind this approach is particularly compelling. MTAP-deleted cancers have elevated MTA/SAM ratios, creating a tumor-specific vulnerability that IDE892 is designed to exploit through MTA-cooperative inhibition of PRMT5. The company plans to begin Phase 1 dose escalation trials in Q4 2025, targeting MTAP-deleted lung cancer specifically.

What's most interesting is IDEAYA's combination therapy strategy. They're planning to evaluate IDE892 with their proprietary MAT2A inhibitor (IDE397) in early 2026. This dual-targeting approach has strong mechanistic justification - MAT2A inhibition further enhances the tumor-specific vulnerability that IDE892 exploits, potentially creating synergistic anti-tumor effects without increasing toxicity to normal tissues.

From a development perspective, IDEAYA appears to have conducted extensive optimization of IDE892's biophysical and pharmacokinetic properties specifically to maximize its effectiveness as a combination partner with IDE397. This suggests a well-coordinated, mechanism-based drug development strategy rather than an opportunistic approach to combinations.

  • Dosing of first patient in Phase 1 dose escalation trial of IDE892 targeted in 4Q 2025
  • Preclinical profile of IDE892 and mechanistic combination rationale with IDE397, IDEAYA's proprietary MAT2A inhibitor, will be presented at the 10-Year Anniversary R&D Day on September 8th

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDYA), a leading precision medicine oncology company, announced the submission of an investigational new drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for IDE892, a potential best-in-class MTA-cooperative inhibitor of PRMT5. The company is targeting to begin a Phase 1 dose escalation trial of IDE892 in MTAP-deleted lung cancer in the fourth quarter of 2025, with the goal of advancing into combination trials with IDE397, IDEAYA's proprietary MAT2A inhibitor, in the first half of 2026.

Approximately 15-20% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is MTAP-deleted. Extensive studies indicate that elevated MTA/SAM ratios in MTAP-deleted cancers create a tumor-specific vulnerability to MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibition. This effect is substantially enhanced in combination with MAT2A inhibition, leading to an important combination therapy opportunity in an area of substantial unmet need. In addition to MTAP-deleted lung cancer, IDEAYA will target to clinically evaluate other high priority MTAP solid tumor indications as both IDE892 monotherapy and in combination with IDE397.

"We are excited to advance IDE892 into clinical studies for patients with MTAP-deleted lung cancer, where we believe the inhibition of PRMT5 in combination with MAT2A could have synergistic anti-tumor activity," said Michael White, Chief Scientific Officer, IDEAYA Biosciences. "IDE892 is the culmination of a comprehensive optimization of the biophysical and pharmacokinetic properties required to maximize therapeutic benefit as a combination partner with IDE397, and to generate a potential best-in-class MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor profile."
