Ideaya Biosciences Stock Price, News & Analysis

IDEAYA Biosciences has initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate darovasertib as a neoadjuvant treatment for uveal melanoma (UM) before primary therapies like enucleation or radiation. The study focuses on eye preservation, reduced radiation, and functional vision. With an annual incidence of about 8,700 cases in the US and EU, UM presents a significant unmet medical need. The trial protocol allows for darovasertib treatment for up to six months, followed by primary treatment and adjuvant therapy. Clinical data updates, particularly on darovasertib combined with crizotinib for metastatic UM, are anticipated in 2023.
