    Bradley Canino's questions to Syndax Pharmaceuticals Inc (SNDX) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Bradley Canino of Stifel asked about the expected cadence for activating the remaining high-priority accounts for Revuforj and how the launch is tracking compared to historical AML targeted therapy analogs.

    Answer

    CCO Steven Closter explained that while a specific cadence won't be provided, they expect to activate accounts "one by one" throughout the year, noting Tier 1 accounts are activating faster than Tier 2. He added that it's too early to compare to analogs but highlighted Revuforj's unique advantages, such as high diagnostic testing rates and a focus on securing paid claims from the start.

    Bradley Canino's questions to Syndax Pharmaceuticals Inc (SNDX) leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Bradley Canino from Stifel Financial Corp. asked about the commercial expectations for Revumenib maintenance therapy post-transplant and what Syndax is looking for in the upcoming BEAT AML data to finalize its frontline pivotal trial.

    Answer

    CEO Michael Metzger stated that the 43% maintenance rate in the AUGMENT-101 trial is encouraging and expects the practice to continue post-launch. Dr. Neil Gallagher, President and Head of R&D, clarified that while the BEAT AML update will provide more patient data, it is not a rate-limiting factor for initiating the Phase III frontline study, which is proceeding in parallel.

    Bradley Canino's questions to Arvinas Inc (ARVN) leadership

    Bradley Canino's questions to Arvinas Inc (ARVN) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Bradley Canino asked how Arvinas will view the results from competing frontline Phase III oral SERD trials from Roche and AstraZeneca, which are expected to launch around the same time as Arvinas's vepdegestrant combination trial.

    Answer

    Chief Medical Officer Noah Berkowitz stated that these competing trials are not expected to impact the operational feasibility of Arvinas's study. He noted that positive results from competitors would generate excitement in the space but emphasized the fundamental difference between SERDs and PROTACs, expressing the expectation that a PROTAC could deliver stronger results.

    Bradley Canino's questions to Arvinas Inc (ARVN) leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Bradley Canino of Stifel asked for expectations on the upcoming abemaciclib combination data relative to the strong palbociclib combo data presented last year, questioning if that sets the bar for future CDK combinations.

    Answer

    CEO John Houston clarified that the patient populations differ, as the abemaciclib trial is 100% post-CDK4/6 experienced versus 86% for the palbociclib study. CMO Noah Berkowitz added that the abemaciclib data will have shorter follow-up, so investors should focus on response rates and safety rather than a mature PFS comparison.

    Bradley Canino's questions to Kymera Therapeutics Inc (KYMR) leadership

    Bradley Canino's questions to Kymera Therapeutics Inc (KYMR) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Bradley Canino of Stifel Financial Corp. asked how the small, 20-patient, 4-week Phase Ib study for KT-621 will serve as a useful tool to build conviction in the drug's profile, given it is not a definitive patient assessment.

    Answer

    CEO Nello Mainolfi explained that the Phase Ib's primary goal is to generate robust biomarker data in patients to confirm that a STAT6 degrader acts like dupilumab. He believes this data will be a powerful tool to demonstrate the 'dupi in a pill' concept and help accelerate recruitment for the larger Phase IIb studies.

    Bradley Canino's questions to Kymera Therapeutics Inc (KYMR) leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Bradley Canino of Stifel inquired about the clinical development plan for the STAT6 program following the healthy volunteer study, asking about the optimal Th2 disease for initial patient testing and whether biomarker data could accelerate development.

    Answer

    CEO Nello Mainolfi suggested that a short biomarker study in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients could be highly informative, leveraging the well-established dupilumab biomarker signature in skin to demonstrate pathway blockade. He indicated this approach could enable a rapid move into larger studies across multiple relevant Th2 diseases.

    Bradley Canino's questions to Summit Therapeutics Inc (SMMT) leadership

    Bradley Canino's questions to Summit Therapeutics Inc (SMMT) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Bradley Canino of Stifel asked about the primary strategic goal of the Pfizer ADC collaboration, whether it's to enhance therapy beyond existing benchmarks or to expand ivonescimab's use outside of lung cancer. He also questioned how Summit will demonstrate comparable efficacy between Western and Chinese patients in the HARMONi data.

    Answer

    An executive responded that the Pfizer collaboration serves both purposes but is more heavily focused on expanding ivonescimab into solid tumors beyond lung cancer, where ADC data has shown significant promise. Regarding data comparability, an executive confirmed that Summit will provide granular data in presentations at major medical conferences to clearly demonstrate the efficacy and safety profiles across both Eastern and Western patient populations.

    Bradley Canino's questions to Summit Therapeutics Inc (SMMT) leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Bradley Canino from Stifel asked about the rationale for adding PFS as a primary endpoint to the HARMONi-3 trial, management's confidence in achieving an Overall Survival (OS) benefit, the data reporting plan for the expanded trial, and the company's view on the competitive landscape for PD-1/VEGF bispecifics.

    Answer

    CMO Dr. Allen Yang stated the decision was driven by the striking PFS benefit seen in HARMONi-2 and that confidence in OS remains unchanged. Executive Dave Gancarz confirmed communications with the FDA occurred prior to the change and that data for the single HARMONi-3 trial would be analyzed together. Gancarz also expressed high confidence in ivonescimab's unique engineering compared to emerging competitors.

    Bradley Canino's questions to Kura Oncology Inc (KURA) leadership

    Bradley Canino's questions to Kura Oncology Inc (KURA) leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Bradley Canino of Stifel asked for Kura's perspective on collaborating with European cooperative groups for frontline trials versus pursuing a fully company-sponsored approach.

    Answer

    CEO Dr. Troy Wilson acknowledged the value of cooperative groups for specific populations, like their LLS collaboration for pediatrics. However, for the core, high-value pivotal trials in 7+3 and ven/aza, he confirmed Kura will run its own sponsored studies to maintain full control over design, timelines, and data, as these are commercially critical programs.
