Phase 1 Study of Rezatapopt, a p53 Reactivator, in TP53 Y220C–Mutated Tumors | NEJM Rezatapopt is an investigational, first-in-class, oral, selective p53 reactivator that specifically binds to Y220C-mutated p53, which stabilizes p53 in its wild-type conformation and restores its f...

Rezatapopt for TP53 Y220C–Mutated Tumors. Game changer! #Y220C #Rezatapopt #PYNNACLE @nejm.org

Panel A: A figure showing the change in the sum of diameters of the target lesions across tumor types. Panel B: A figure showing the overall duration of treatment and the time to first response observed in 46 patients treated with a dose in the observed efficacious-dose range who had wild-type KRAS.

In a phase 1 study of the oral p53 reactivator rezatapopt in heavily pretreated patients with TP53 Y220C–mutated solid tumors, the most common adverse events were nausea and vomiting, and the overall response was 20%. Full PYNNACLE study results: nej.md/3OIQC5P

Genomic landscape of clinically acquired resistance alterations in patients treated with KRASG12C inhibitors Mutant-selective inhibitors of KRASG12C (KRASG12Ci) have demonstrated efficacy in KRASG12C cancers. However, resistance invariably develops, resulting in short-lived responses. We aimed to define the ...
