PMV Pharma Targets NDA Submission for rezatapopt in 2027
"The first quarter was one of continued execution as we advance the PYNNACLE study and remain on track to target an NDA submission for rezatapopt for platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian cancer in the first quarter of 2027," said David Mack, President and Chief Executive Officer of PMV Pharma. "We are also encouraged by the publication of the PYNNACLE Phase 1 results in the New England Journal of Medicine, which underscores the scientific innovation behind rezatapopt and highlights its potential to address a significant unmet medical need. Patients with TP53 Y220C advanced solid tumors, including platinum resistant ovarian cancer, experience poor outcomes despite available therapies."
