PMV Pharmaceuticals Publishes Clinical Results of Rezatapopt for TP53 Mutant Tumors
PMV Pharmaceuticals announced that results from the Phase 1, first-in-human portion of the ongoing Phase 1/2 PYNNACLE study evaluating rezatapopt in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring a TP53 Y220C mutation were published in the New England Journal of Medicine, NEJM. The publication provides a summary of the Phase 1 safety and efficacy results across 77 patients. The study published in NEJM entitled, "Phase 1 Study of Rezatapopt, a p53 Reactivator, in TP53 Y220C-Mutated Tumors," highlighted the antitumor activity of rezatapopt in heavily pretreated patients across multiple solid tumor-types establishing proof-of-concept for p53 reactivation. In the Phase 1 portion of the PYNNACLE clinical trial, 77 heavily pretreated patients with advanced solid tumors harboring a TP53 Y220C mutation received oral rezatapopt across dose-escalation cohorts to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose, characterize safety, pharmacokinetics, and biomarker effects. Rezatapopt was generally well tolerated; dose-limiting toxicities were infrequent, supporting selection of the RP2D. Objective responses were observed across multiple tumor types. Clinical activity and biomarker data were consistent with selective binding to the Y220C pocket and restoration of wild-type p53 tumor suppressor function.

Clinical Trial Results: Updated data from the Phase 2 PYNNACLE trial presented at the 2025 AACR-NCI-EORTC Conference showed a 34% overall response rate (ORR) across eight tumor types, with a notable 46% ORR in the ovarian cancer cohort.
Rezatapopt Overview: Rezatapopt (PC14586) is a first-in-class small molecule designed to reactivate the p53 protein in tumors with the TP53 Y220C mutation, with plans for a New Drug Application submission for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in Q1 2027.
Safety Profile: The treatment was generally well-tolerated, with most adverse events being Grade 1-2, and a low discontinuation rate due to treatment-related adverse events (3.6%).
Future Directions: PMV Pharma aims to continue generating data to support regulatory strategies and enhance treatment options for patients with advanced solid tumors harboring the TP53 Y220C mutation.

Clinical Trial Results: PMV Pharmaceuticals released interim data from the Phase 2 PYNNACLE trial, showing a 33% overall response rate for rezatapopt in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring the TP53 Y220C mutation, with notable efficacy in ovarian (43% ORR) and endometrial (60% ORR) cancers.
Safety and Regulatory Plans: The treatment was generally well-tolerated, with most adverse events being mild. PMV Pharma plans to enroll additional patients for a New Drug Application (NDA) for platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian cancer by early 2027, following FDA feedback.
