The information furnished in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, 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 into any other filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On November 24, 2025, the Company announced updated clinical data from the FIREFLY-1 trial. New data from the FIREFLY-1 trial (“Arm 1”), with an updated median study duration of 40.6 months (data cutoff June 6, 2025), are described below.
Updated FIREFLY-1 Data
In 76 patients from Arm 1, 44 (58%) completed 26 or more cycles of treatment (approximately 24 months). Amongst the key primary endpoints, the overall response rate was 53% (40/76), the median duration of response was 19.4 months (95% CI [13.8-27.2]), and the time to response was 5.4 months (range [1.6-17.5]). The pre-specified secondary study endpoint of Progression Free Survival was evaluated by Response Assessment in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Low-Grade Glioma. The median was 16.6 (10.9–22.0) months.
Exploratory analyses were undertaken to further assess the clinical impact of tovorafenib in the same study population. Among these analyses:
| • | The median time-to-next-treatment (defined as the time from the date of the first dose of tovorafenib to the start of the first subsequent anticancer treatment, or date of death) was 42.6 months (95% CI [36.7-NE]). |
| • | 39 patients entered a treatment-free observation period: |
| • | 77% (30/39) were treatment-free for a minimum of 12 months. |
| • | Median treatment-free interval, measured from the end of tovorafenib primary treatment to the start of the next subsequent anticancer treatment or death, was not reached. |
| • | Tumor rebound was minimal in the first 6 months off therapy, with 31% of patients experiencing a ≥25% increase in tumor size from the last scan prior to the last dose. |
| • | Eight patients received retreatment with tovorafenib: |
| • | The median retreatment duration was 9 months (all patients remained on therapy at the time of data cutoff). |
| • | The median maximum percentage change in tumor reduction was –38.3%. |
In this updated three-year analysis, no new safety signals were identified. Grade 3 or higher adverse events most commonly reported (≥ 5% of patients) were decreased growth velocity, anemia, blood creatine phosphokinase increased, maculopapular rash, alanine aminotransferase increased.
