BH-30643 is a macrocyclic, mutant selective OMNI-EGFR™ inhibitor being evaluated in the Phase 1/2 SOLARA clinical trial for locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) bearing EGFR or HER2 mutations
Poster presentation at AACR on April 29, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. CT
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BlossomHill Therapeutics, Inc., a privately-held, clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the design and development of small molecule medicines for treating cancer and autoimmune diseases, announced that an abstract describing the design and discovery of the company’s novel, macrocyclic, reversible, mutant-selective OMNI-EGFR™ inhibitor, BH-30643, was accepted for a poster presentation at the upcoming American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL on April 29, 2025.
“At BlossomHill, we set out to reimagine what an EGFR inhibitor could achieve as a single agent precision medicine,” said Dr. Jean Cui, President and Chief Executive Officer of BlossomHill Therapeutics. “Using an intentional design approach, we targeted structural features shared across activating EGFR mutations, creating an opportunity to potently and selectively target a broad spectrum of EGFR positive lung cancers.”
“The growing diversity of treatments for different subgroups of EGFR mutations has added complexity – it can be hard for a doctor or patient to know which is the right treatment,” said Dr. Geoff Oxnard, Chief Medical Officer of BlossomHill Therapeutics. “We envision that a super-potent EGFR kinase inhibitor could help achieve in this disease the kinds of durable responses we are seeing with next-generation ALK and ROS1 targeted therapies.”
The poster title and session information are provided below. Full abstract details, including title and text, are currently available via the AACR online itinerary planner.
- Poster title: Design and discovery of BH-30643: A novel, reversible, mutant-selective macrocyclic EGFR inhibitor invulnerable to common resistance mutations
- Abstract number: 5608
- Session Title: Kinase and Phosphatase Inhibitors 3, Experimental and Molecular Therapeutics
- Session Date/Time: Tuesday, April 29, 2025, 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. CT
- Presenting Author: Jean Cui, Ph.D., Scientific Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, BlossomHill Therapeutics
A copy of the poster will be available on the BlossomHill website at the beginning of the AACR poster presentation.
About BH-30643
BH-30643 is a novel, macrocyclic, reversible, mutant-selective OMNI-EGFR™ inhibitor for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) bearing EGFR or HER2 mutations. In preclinical studies, BH-30643 demonstrated potent antitumor activity spanning classical EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletions, L858R), atypical EGFR mutations (G719X, L861Q, S768I, etc.), and exon 20 insertions, maintaining potency in the presence of known resistance mutations. BH-30643 is currently being evaluated in the Phase 1/2 global SOLARA study (NCT06706076), which includes dose escalation followed by expansion cohorts to further evaluate BH-30643 across a range of EGFR and HER2 mutations.
