Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On April 27, 2026, Relay Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing clinical data from the zovegalisib, fulvestrant and atirmociclib triplet combination arm of the Phase 1/2 ReDiscover trial as well as the Company's plans to move zovegalisib plus atirmociclib into Phase 3 development for frontline ("1L") patients with PI3Kα-mutated, HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, a copy of which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company hosted a conference call and live webcast to discuss the clinical data and Phase 3 development plans on April 27, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. E.T. The Company has made available a slide presentation to accompany the call, a copy of which is being furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to update, supplement or amend the materials attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

 

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto, is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 27, 2026, the Company announced clinical data from the zovegalisib, fulvestrant and atirmociclib triplet combination arm of the Phase 1/2 ReDiscover trial as well as the Company's plans to move zovegalisib plus atirmociclib into Phase 3 development for 1L patients with PI3Kα-mutated, HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer.

 

Triplet Clinical Data

 

Zovegalisib is currently being evaluated in the ReDiscover trial, an ongoing first-in-human study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary antitumor activity of zovegalisib in combination with fulvestrant and CDK inhibitors in patients with PI3Kα-mutated, HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. These data are from the zovegalisib plus atirmociclib plus fulvestrant dose finding portion of the trial.

 

As of the April 13, 2026 data cut-off date (the "Data Cut-Off Date"), 69 total patients were enrolled, with 62 patients at or below the potential Phase 3 dose and 34 patients with measurable disease evaluable for response. All patients had previously received a CDK4/6 inhibitor and at least one prior endocrine therapy in the advanced setting and could have received a PI3K pathway inhibitor. These heavily pre-treated patients had received a median of two prior therapies (21% received three or more prior therapies) in the metastatic setting with 63% having visceral disease, 29% having received chemotherapy, and 47% being pre-diabetic. The median follow-up was 7.4 months.

 

Early safety and tolerability data for zovegalisib in combination with atirmociclib and fulvestrant (N=62) reinforce the potential of this regimen moving forward in 1L endocrine sensitive patients. As of the Data Cut-Off Date:

 

Only two patients (3%) discontinued zovegalisib and six patients (10%) dose reduced zovegalisib due to treatment-related adverse events ("TRAEs");
Adverse events were consistent with those previously reported by each molecule;
o
Grade 3 hyperglycemia was 0% despite 47% of patients being pre-diabetic;
Overall grade 3+ TRAE rate in these median third-line patients is 40%;
o
Neutropenia accounts for the majority of the grade 3+ events;
o
No instance of febrile neutropenia was observed.

 

As of the Data Cut-Off Date, 34 patients had measurable disease to be evaluated for response:

 

Objective response rate ("ORR") was 44% (15/34) and was also 44% in both kinase and non-kinase patients;
o
ORR in these heavily pre-treated patients has approached that of current standard of care doublets in 1L patients, ranging from 53% to 55% ORR;
o
Nearly all patients experienced tumor reduction (85%, 29/34);
48 of 62 patients (77%) remain on study as of the Data Cut-Off Date, with a median follow-up of 7.4 months;
o
The data are not yet mature enough to estimate median progression-free survival.

 


 

 

 

 

 

Pharmacokinetic analyses demonstrated that atirmociclib increased the exposure of zovegalisib by about two and half-fold (regardless of atirmociclib dose), while zovegalisib had no impact on atirmociclib exposure. Subject to regulatory feedback, the potential Phase 3 dose of zovegalisib will be 150mg twice daily (BID), which maintains average concentration of zovegalisib just below IC90 throughout the dosing interval.

 

Preliminary Phase 3 Development Plans

 

The planned study, subject to regulatory feedback, is a randomized Phase 3 trial evaluating zovegalisib in combination with atirmociclib and aromatase inhibitor ("AI") in 1L endocrine sensitive patients with PIK3CA-mutated, HR+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

 

Population: 1L endocrine sensitive patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer harboring a PIK3CA mutation
Experimental arm: Zovegalisib plus atirmociclib plus AI
Control arm: CDK4/6 inhibitor (investigator’s choice) plus AI
Key endpoints: Median progression-free survival (primary) and overall survival (secondary)

 

Pursuant to the terms of a clinical trial supply agreement, Pfizer, Inc. ("Pfizer") has agreed to supply atirmociclib for the experimental arm in combination with zovegalisib and the palbociclib portion of the control arm for use in the planned study. The Company will sponsor, fully operationalize and fund the planned Phase 3 trial.
