Progress and Strategic Opportunities for SGR-1505 MALT1 Inhibitor

Initial Phase I data for SGR-1505 showed a well-tolerated profile with responses in heavily pretreated CLL and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia patients, with 3 of 17 CLL patients responding and all 5 Waldenstrom's patients responding.
The program has received FDA Fast Track designation, highlighting its potential as a promising therapeutic in refractory hematologic cancers.
Schrodinger is exploring strategic opportunities to accelerate clinical development and maximize the potential of SGR-1505, rather than pursuing independent late-stage trials.
The company plans to provide further updates on dose escalation, translational data, and regulatory feedback later this year.
The emerging profile of SGR-1505 suggests best-in-class potential, with early evidence supporting its use in refractory disease, especially in patients previously exposed to BTK and BCL2 inhibitors.

Revuforj's Rapid Adoption and Early Line Usage Trends

Since launch, over 500 patients have been treated with Revuforj, with approximately 90% of usage in KMT2A patients.
In just 7 months, Revuforj has reached 1/4 of the 2,000 diagnosed relapsed/refractory KMT2A AML patients annually.
Physicians are increasingly using Revuforj in earlier lines of therapy, with emerging claims data showing 70% of use in second and third-line settings.
The company estimates that about 1/3 of KMT2A patients treated with Revuforj have proceeded to transplant, with this percentage expected to grow.
Early indicators suggest a higher transplant rate in the commercial setting compared to pivotal trials, driven by earlier treatment.
Physicians plan to restart Revuforj post-transplant for 1 to 2 years, potentially extending treatment duration and improving outcomes.

Disappointing Phase III Hyalofast Trial Results and Impact on FDA Submission Timeline

The U.S. pivotal Phase III trial for Hyalofast missed its primary endpoints, with statistical significance not achieved on co-primary measures of KOOS Pain and IKDC Function.
The trial faced challenges due to declining use of microfracture, higher dropout rates, missed visits during COVID, and reduced evaluable sample size.
Despite the miss on primary endpoints, secondary endpoints showed statistical significance, and international data with positive 15-year outcomes support the product's value.
The company plans to submit the third and final PMA module in the second half of 2025, extending the review timeline to 2027 to ensure thorough review and dialogue with the FDA.
