RLY-2608
On October 7, 2021, at the AACR-NCI-EORTC Molecular Targets Conference, the Company announced preclinical data for RLY-2608, its inhibitor of cancer-associated mutant variants H1047X, E542X, and E545X of phosphoinostide 3-kinase alpha (“PI3Kα”). RLY-2608 is the lead program of the Company’s multiple preclinical efforts to discover and develop mutant selective inhibitors of PI3Kα.
The data show that in preclinical models, RLY-2608 preferentially binds mutant PI3Kα at a novel allosteric site discovered by the Company’s DynamoTM platform. In biochemical and cellular assays, RLY-2608 inhibited the three major classes of PI3Kα oncogenic mutations (H1047X, E542X and E545X) while sparing wild-type PI3Kα. The data further suggest that RLY-2608 is also highly selective against other PI3K family members and exquisitely selective across the kinome. The data suggest that projected clinically relevant doses of RLY-2608 achieved tumor regression in PIK3CA mutant in vivo xenograft models representing H1047R and E545K mutations with significantly reduced impact on glucose metabolism compared to non-mutant selective active site inhibitors. In higher species, dosing of RLY-2608 resulted in exposures exceeding 90% inhibition of mutant PI3Kα in cells without resulting in elevated glucose levels or histopathological changes associated with dysregulation of glucose metabolism that are seen with non-mutant selective inhibitors.
The Company believes these results support advancement of RLY-2608 into clinical development as a differentiated mechanism of mutant PI3Kα inhibition. In addition, the Company believes that due to the preclinical selectivity that RLY-2608 has shown against the PI3Kα mutant variants H1047X, E542X, and E545X, RLY-2608 could potentially address over 100,000 patients per year in the United States. The Company expects to initiate a first-in-human clinical trial of RLY-2608 in the first half of 2022, subject to submission of an investigational new drug application and acceptance by the FDA.
RLY-4008
On October 8, 2021, at the AACR-NCI-EORTC Molecular Targets Conference, the Company will also announce interim clinical data from the RLY-4008-101 Trial of its investigational fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (“FGFR2”) inhibitor, RLY-4008, in patients with FGFR2 altered tumors regardless of prior FGFR inhibitor treatment. The clinical trial is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dosing as well as assess initial safety and tolerability. Approximately 125 patients are planned to enroll in the trial, which is being conducted in two parts, a dose escalation (part 1) and a dose expansion (part 2).
The Company believes the interim clinical data suggest robust inhibition of FGFR2 in the first 49 subjects that was not shown to be limited by off-target toxicities, including hyperphosphatemia and diarrhea. The initial toxicity data suggest that certain dose levels administered can achieve >85% continuous inhibition of FGFR2. At those levels, acute toxicities that would limit dose intensity have generally not been observed to date. The interim clinical data included results from FGFR2-altered solid tumors, with approximately 80% of all patients treated having achieved reductions in tumor size as of September 9, 2021 (the “Data Cut-off Date”). In pan-FGFR inhibitor treatment-naïve cholangiocarcinoma patients, RLY-4008 demonstrated tumor shrinkage in all six pan-FGFR treatment-naïve FGFR2 fusion positive cholangiocarcinoma patients, with three achieving confirmed partial responses. Three of these six patients remain on study and a fourth patient went on to surgery with curative intent. The Company plans to select a once daily recommended Phase 2 dose and initiate expansion cohorts of the RLY-4008-101 Trial prior to the end of 2021.
As of the Data Cut-off Date, 48 of the 49 patients enrolled had a primary FGFR2 alteration, of which a majority were FGFR2 fusion cholangiocarcinoma. Most patients had high disease burden with multiple prior treatments including pan-FGFR inhibitors, and several had FGFR2 resistance mutations detected by circulating tumor DNA (“ctDNA”), at baseline. Patients were treated at nine different once daily (“QD”), or twice daily (“BID”) dose levels, ranging from 20 mg QD to 70 mg QD and 20 mg BID to 100 mg BID. As of the Data Cut-off Date, duration of treatment ranged from 4 to 45 weeks.
Initial Safety Analysis
The interim clinical data of the RLY-4008-101 Trial indicate that RLY-4008 has generally been well tolerated in the 49 patients treated as of the Data Cut-Off Date. With regard to dosing, the QD dosing schedule has been prioritized due to its preferable tolerability (as only one dose limiting toxicity (“DLT”) was observed across all dose levels) and high target coverage (lowest dose of 20 mg exceeded 85% receptor occupancy). Within the BID dosing schedule there were five DLTs observed, and receptor occupancy ranged from 90% to 98% across the BID doses.
Across all QD doses only 16% of patients, all Grade 1 or 2, experienced hyperphosphatemia, a toxicity that has been shown to limit dose intensity for pan-FGFR inhibitors in other studies. These data indicate that RLY-4008 had little or no FGFR1 inhibition at the examined dose levels. Additionally, little or no diarrhea was observed with RLY-4008 treatment suggesting minimal or no FGFR4 inhibition in treated patients to date across dose levels. Together, the interim data suggest that RLY-4008 is a highly selective FGFR2 inhibitor in humans.
Most treatment emergent adverse events were low-grade adverse events and manageable. There have been no Grade 4 or 5 adverse events. Given that retinal toxicity has been observed with FGFR inhibitor treatment, the trial is designed to assess retinopathy and retinal pigment epithelial dystrophy adverse events, which have been observed in seven patients (14%), three of which occurred in the QD dosing regimen. All seven of these events were Grade 1-2, which were self-limiting or resolved upon treatment interruption.
Initial Efficacy Analysis
The interim clinical data of the RLY-4008-101 Trial indicate that RLY-4008 has the potential to provide tumor reduction across a number of FGFR2 alterations and lines of treatment. Key interim data include:
| • | Promising early activity in FGFR inhibitor naïve cholangiocarcinoma FGFR2 fusion patients, with confirmed RECISTv1.1 partial responses observed in 3 out of 6 patients with deep tumor regressions (-56% to -83%) and 3 out of 6 patients continuing on treatment and a fourth who went on to surgery with curative intent. |
| • | Radiographic tumor shrinkage and complete clearance of ctDNA in 70% of patients with acquired resistance mutations (N=10), including molecular brake (N550) and gatekeeper (V565) mutations, suggesting the potential for RLY-4008 to treat or prevent on-target acquired resistance. |
| • | Early signs of activity observed outside of FGFR2 fusion positive cholangiocarcinoma, including tumor reduction in 6 out of 8 evaluable patients with activating mutations (1 confirmed partial response, (“PR”), 1 unconfirmed PR, and 4 stable disease (“SD”) (based on RECISTv1.1 criteria)) and 3 out of 3 patients with amplifications (all SD). |
| • | Approximately 80% of all patients treated achieved radiographic tumor regressions; this was observed across all dose levels, tumor types and FGFR2 alterations, and in patients with prior FGFR inhibitor treatment. |
Consistent with the preclinical profile of RLY-4008, these early clinical data support the Company’s belief that RLY-4008 has broad therapeutic potential across FGFR2 alterations and tumor types.

Exhibit 99.1
Relay Therapeutics Announces Preclinical Data that Support RLY-2608 as the First Known Allosteric Pan-Mutant Selective Inhibitor of PI3Kα
RLY-2608 preferentially binds mutant PI3Kα at a novel allosteric site discovered by the Dynamo™ platform
Preclinically, achieved tumor regressions in vivo with significantly reduced impact on glucose metabolism compared to active site inhibitors
RLY-2608’s pan-mutant inhibition has the potential to address over 100,000 patients per year in the U.S.
Cambridge, MA – October 07, 2021 – Relay Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLAY), a clinical-stage precision medicine company transforming the drug discovery process by combining leading-edge computational and experimental technologies, today shared preclinical data at the virtual AACR-NCI-EORTC Molecular Targets Conference for RLY-2608, the first allosteric, pan-mutant (H1047X, E542X and E545X) and isoform-selective PI3Kα inhibitor.
The data presented at the conference show that in preclinical models, RLY-2608 preferentially binds mutant PI3Kα at a novel allosteric site discovered by the Dynamo™ platform. Scientists at Relay Therapeutics solved the full-length structure of PI3Kα, performed long time-scale molecular dynamic simulations to elucidate differences in motion between wild-type (WT) and mutant PI3Kα, and leveraged these insights to enable the design of RLY-2608. In biochemical and cellular assays, RLY-2608 inhibited the three major classes of PI3Kα oncogenic mutations (H1047X, E542X and E545X) while sparing WT PI3Kα. The data further suggest that RLY-2608 is also highly selective against other PI3K family members and exquisitely selective across the kinome. The data suggest that projected clinically relevant doses of RLY-2608 achieved tumor regression in PIK3CA mutant in vivo xenograft models representing H1047R and E545K mutations with significantly reduced impact on glucose metabolism compared to non-mutant selective active site inhibitors. In higher species, dosing of RLY-2608 resulted in exposures exceeding 90% inhibition of mutant PI3Kα in cells without resulting in elevated glucose levels or histopathological changes associated with dysregulation of glucose metabolism that are seen with non-mutant selective inhibitors.
These results support advancement of RLY-2608 into clinical development as a differentiated mechanism of mutant PI3Kα inhibition with the first-in-human study anticipated to start in the first half of 2022. RLY-2608 is the lead program of multiple preclinical efforts at Relay Therapeutics to discover and develop mutant selective inhibitors of PI3Kα.
RLY-2608 has the potential to address over 100,000 patients per year in the United States, one of the largest patient populations for a precision oncology medicine. Selectivity for all three mutation hot spots (H1047X, E542X and E545X) has the potential to effectively double the addressable patient population compared to selectivity for only H1047X.
“The data shared today provide another proof point that we’re developing what we believe to be the first known pan-mutant selective allosteric inhibitor of PI3Kα,” said Don Bergstrom, M.D., Ph.D., executive vice president of R&D at Relay Therapeutics. “We believe RLY-2608 has the potential to address a significant unmet medical need in a large population and have validated our approach for developing mutant selective inhibitors of PI3Kα. RLY-2608 is only the start of our PI3Kα efforts, and by leveraging our Dynamo™ platform, we plan to build a franchise around this target for the long-term.”

About RLY-2608
RLY-2608 is the lead program of multiple preclinical efforts to discover and develop mutant selective inhibitors of PI3Kα. PI3Kα is the most frequently mutated kinase in all cancers, with oncogenic mutations detected in about 13% of patients with solid tumors. Traditionally, the development of PI3Kα inhibitors has focused on the active, or orthosteric, site. The therapeutic index of orthosteric inhibitors is limited by the lack of clinically meaningful selectivity for mutant versus WT PI3Kα and off-isoform activity. Toxicity related to inhibition of WT PI3Kα and other PI3K isoforms results in sub-optimal inhibition of mutant PI3Kα with reductions in dose intensity and frequent discontinuation. The Dynamo™ platform enabled the discovery of RLY-2608, the first known allosteric, pan-mutant (H1047X, E542X and E545X), and isoform-selective PI3Kα inhibitor designed to overcome these limitations. Relay Therapeutics solved the full-length cryo-EM structure of PI3Kα, performed computational long time-scale molecular dynamic simulations to elucidate conformational differences between WT and mutant PI3Kα, and leveraged these insights to support the design of RLY-2608. RLY-2608 is on path to initiate a first-in-human clinical trial in the first half of 2022, subject to submission of an investigational new drug application and acceptance by the FDA.

Relay Therapeutics Announces Interim Clinical Data that Support RLY-4008 as a Highly Selective FGFR2 Inhibitor
Interim data suggest that RLY-4008 is a highly selective FGFR2 inhibitor that has not shown to be limited by off-target toxicities of hyperphosphatemia (FGFR1) and diarrhea (FGFR4)
RLY-4008 demonstrated tumor shrinkage in all six pan-FGFR treatment-naïve FGFR2 fusion positive cholangiocarcinoma patients with three achieving confirmed partial responses
Interim data support potential clinical benefits of optimized inhibition of FGFR2 regardless of alteration (fusions, mutations, and amplifications), line of treatment or tumor type
Relay Therapeutics anticipates selecting a once daily recommended phase 2 dose and initiating expansion cohorts prior to the end of 2021
Relay Therapeutics to host a conference call today at 12:30 pm E.T.
Cambridge, MA – October 08, 2021 – Relay Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLAY), a clinical-stage precision medicine company transforming the drug discovery process by combining leading-edge computational and experimental technologies, today announced interim clinical data for RLY-4008, a highly selective irreversible and oral small molecule inhibitor of FGFR2, in a first-in-human trial in patients with FGFR2-altered cholangiocarcinoma and multiple other solid tumors. The data are being presented today at the virtual AACR-NCI-EORTC Molecular Targets Conference and suggest that RLY-4008 is the first investigational therapy designed to selectively bind to FGFR2 to avoid off-isoform toxicities for the treatment of patients with FGFR2-altered tumors.
As will be presented at the conference, study investigators reported robust inhibition of FGFR2 in the first 49 subjects that was not shown to be limited by off-target toxicities, including hyperphosphatemia and diarrhea, in the interim clinical data. The initial toxicity data suggest that certain dose levels administered can achieve >85% continuous inhibition of FGFR2. At those levels, acute toxicities that would limit dose intensity have generally not been observed to date. The interim clinical data included results from FGFR2-altered solid tumors, with approximately 80% of all patients treated achieving reductions in tumor size at the cut-off date of September 9, 2021. In pan-FGFRi treatment-naïve cholangiocarcinoma patients, RLY-4008 demonstrated tumor shrinkage in all six pan-FGFR treatment-naïve FGFR2 fusion positive cholangiocarcinoma patients, with three achieving confirmed partial responses. Three of these six patients remain on study and a fourth patient went on to surgery with curative intent. Relay Therapeutics anticipates selecting a once daily recommended phase 2 dose and initiating expansion cohorts prior to the end of 2021.
“RLY-4008 clinical data exemplifies the power of the Relay Therapeutics Dynamo™ platform and approach to discovering innovative medicines,” said Don Bergstrom, M.D., Ph.D., executive vice president of R&D at Relay Therapeutics. “Not only has the platform succeeded in creating a selective and purpose-built investigational therapy, but the initial clinical evidence of RLY-4008 has also shown the potential to positively impact the course of disease for patients with FGFR2 altered cancers. We continue to evaluate the once daily dose schedule to determine which dose to take forward into expansion cohorts before year-end. Using the same approach, we are building a deep portfolio of precision medicine programs that have the potential to impact patients with the hard-to-treat diseases. Thank you to the patients, investigators and clinical trial teams who have put their faith in our investigational therapy.”
RLY-4008 First-in-Human Trial Interim Results
RLY-4008 is currently being evaluated in an ongoing dose-escalation first-in-human trial in patients with FGFR2 altered tumors regardless of prior FGFRi treatment. The study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dosing as well as assess initial safety and tolerability. Approximately 125 patients are planned to enroll in the study, which is being conducted in two parts, a dose escalation (part 1) and a dose expansion (part 2). As of the cut-off date of September 9, 2021, 48 of the 49 patients enrolled had a primary FGFR2-alteration, of which a majority were FGFR2-fusion cholangiocarcinoma. Most patients had high disease burden with multiple prior treatments including pan-FGFR inhibitors, and several had FGFR2 resistance mutations detected by ctDNA at baseline. Patients were treated at nine different once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID) dose levels, ranging from 20 mg QD to 70 mg QD and 20 mg BID to 100 mg BID. As of the cut-off date, duration of treatment ranged from 4 to 45 weeks.
Initial Safety Analysis
RLY-4008 has generally been well tolerated in the 49 patients treated as of September 9, 2021. With regard to dosing, the QD schedule has been prioritized due to its preferable tolerability (only one dose limiting toxicity (DLT) observed across all dose levels) and high target coverage (lowest dose, 20 mg, exceeding 85% receptor occupancy). Within the BID dosing schedule there were five DLTs observed, and receptor occupancy ranged from 90% to 98% across the BID doses.
Across all QD doses only 16% of patients, all Grade 1 or 2, experienced hyperphosphatemia, a toxicity that has been shown to limit dose intensity for pan-FGFR inhibitors in other studies. These data indicate that RLY-4008 had little or no FGFR1 inhibition at the examined dose levels. Additionally, little or no diarrhea was observed with RLY-4008 treatment suggesting minimal or no FGFR4 inhibition in treated patients to date across dose levels. Together, the interim data suggest that RLY-4008 is a highly selective FGFR2 inhibitor in humans.
Most treatment emergent adverse events were low-grade adverse events and manageable. There have been no Grade 4 or 5 adverse events. Given that retinal toxicity has been observed with FGFRi treatment, the trial is designed to assess retinopathy and retinal pigment epithelial dystrophy (RPED) adverse events, which have been observed in seven patients (14%), three of which occurred in the QD regimen. All seven of these events were Grade 1-2, which were self-limiting or resolved upon treatment interruption.
To date, a maximum tolerated dose has not been reached and QD dose exploration is ongoing to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
Initial Efficacy Analysis
The interim clinical data indicate that RLY-4008 has the potential to provide tumor reduction across a number of FGFR2 alterations and lines of treatment. Key interim data include:
| • | Promising early activity in FGFRi naïve cholangiocarcinoma FGFR2 fusion patients, with confirmed RECISTv1.1 partial responses observed in 3/6 patients with deep tumor regressions (-56% to -83%), and 3/6 patients continuing on treatment and a fourth who went on to surgery with curative intent. |
| • | Radiographic tumor shrinkage and complete clearance of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in 70% of patients with acquired resistance mutations (N=10), including molecular brake (N550) and gatekeeper (V565) mutations, suggesting the potential for RLY-4008 to treat or prevent on-target acquired resistance. |
| • | Early signs of activity observed outside of FGFR2-fusion positive cholangiocarcinoma, including tumor reduction in 6 out of 8 evaluable patients with activating mutations (1 confirmed PR, 1 unconfirmed PR, and 4 SD (based on RECISTv1.1 criteria)) and 3 out of 3 patients with amplifications (all SD). |
| • | Approximately 80% of all patients treated achieved radiographic tumor regressions; this was observed across all dose levels, tumor types and FGFR2 alterations, and in patients with prior FGFR inhibitor treatment. |
Consistent with the preclinical profile, these early clinical data support Relay Therapeutics’ belief that RLY-4008 has broad therapeutic potential across FGFR2 alterations and tumor types.

About RLY-4008
RLY-4008 is a potent, selective and oral small molecule inhibitor of FGFR2, a receptor tyrosine kinase that is frequently altered in certain cancers. FGFR2 is one of four members of the FGFR family, a set of closely related proteins with highly similar protein sequences and properties. Preclinically, RLY-4008 demonstrated FGFR2-dependent killing in cancer cell lines and induced regression in in vivo models, while minimal inhibition of other targets was observed, including other members of the FGFR family. In addition, RLY-4008 demonstrates strong activity against known clinical on-target resistance mutations in cellular and in vivo preclinical models. RLY-4008 is currently being evaluated in a first-in-human clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RLY-4008 in patients with advanced or metastatic FGFR2-altered solid tumors. To learn more about the first-in-human clinical trial of RLY-4008, please visit here.
