VRN101099 / Voronoi - LARVOL DELTA

Combinatory treatments of VRN101099 with antibody therapies for HER2-driven breast cancer (SABCS 2025) - "In BT474 or SKBR3, HER2 amplified breast cancer cells, xenograft models with subcutaneous or intracranial implantation, VRN101099 showed combinatory and synergistic anti-tumor effects with Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab, T-DM1, T-DXd, and Zanidatamab. The first-in-human dose escalation study of VRN101099 monotherapy will determine the maximal tolerable dose, and an optimal dose finding study for the combination will be followed."

Preclinical and Clinical Activity of VRN101099, a Novel Covalent HER2 TKI for Metastatic HER2-Driven Solid Tumors (AACR-NCI-EORTC 2025) - "Although HER2-targeted therapies such as T-DXd and Zongertinib have demonstrated favorable outcomes in HER2-driven tumors, their efficacy remains limited, particularly in patients with brain metastasis and in those harboring specific activating mutations (e.g. S310F/Y). Pharmacokinetic analysis showed that VRN10 achieves sufficient target engagement at an 80mg Ctrough, and remains well tolerated up to 160mg, with no treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). Together, preclinical and emerging clinical findings demonstrate VRN101099's promise as a therapeutic option for patients with HER2-positive or HER2-mutant solid tumors, including those with difficult-to-treat metastatic sites such as the brain and bone."

A Phase 1, First-in-Human, Dose-Escalation Study of VRN101099, a Brain-Penetrant HER2 TKI, in Patients with Advanced HER2 Alteration Solid Tumors (AACR-NCI-EORTC 2025) - P1 | "While HER2-targeted therapies such as trastuzumab, pertuzumab, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) have improved patient outcomes, major unmet medical needs persist. The primary endpoints are the incidence of DLTs and the overall safety profile. Secondary endpoints include PK parameters, PD biomarkers, and preliminary anti-tumor activity as assessed by Objective Response Rate (ORR) according to RECIST v1.1 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06806982)."

VRN101099: A novel treatment option for HER2-driven cancer patients, overcoming T-DXd resistance and brain metastases (AACR 2025) - "In intracranial xenograft models, VRN101099 demonstrated superior anti-tumor efficacy to tucatinib, neratinib, zongertinib, trastuzumab, and T-DXd. In conclusion, VRN101099 is a promising HER2-selective TKI with a favorable profile including potency, tolerability, and brain permeability. This identifies VRN101099 as a potential novel systemic treatment option for patients with HER2-driven cancers, particularly those with brain metastases or those who have progressed after or failed with T-DXd."

VRN101099: a novel oral treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors including brain metastasis driven by HER2 amplification or HER2-activating mutations even with T-DXd resistance (EORTC-NCI-AACR 2024) - "Thanks to its high brain permeability and non-substrate of BCRP, VRN101099 exhibited superior intracranial anti-tumor efficacy compared to current therapeutic options, such as tucatinib, neratinib, trastuzumab, and T-DXd. VRN101099 presents a novel systemic treatment option for patients with HER2-driven cancer, particularly those with brain metastasis or who have progressed after or discontinued T-DXd. The first-in-human study of VRN101099 is expected at the end of 2024."

VRN101099, Brain Permeable HER2 Kinase Inhibitor, Shows the Anti-tumor Activity in Preclinical Models of HER2-positive Cancers (SABCS 2022) - "While T-DXd showed positive results in HER2-positive breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM), its activity and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability in active BCBM need to be further validated (TUXEDO-1 included 15 patients with active brain metastasis). Tucatinib plus Trastuzumab and Capecitabine triplet showed efficacy in patients with brain metastasis, but Tucatinib alone has poor BBB penetration...In summary, VRN101099 is a brain penetrant, orally bioavailable, irreversible, and highly selective inhibitor of HER2 with therapeutic potential in HER2-positive BCBM. These data support the clinical development of VRN101099 in HER2-driven cancers."
