BMS-986504 in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors with homozygous MTAP deletion ( MTAP -del): Exploratory pharmacodynamic (PD) and biomarker analyses from CA240-0007.

3146 Background: The MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor BMS-986504 selectively binds to the PRMT5-MTA complex, a synthetic lethal target in MTAP -del cancer cells, while sparing MTAP –wild-type normal cells. In the phase 1 CA240-0007 study, BMS-986504 was well tolerated and had antitumor activity in pts with MTAP -del advanced solid tumors (ORR, 23%; median DOR, 10.5 mo). BMS-986504 also demonstrated dose-dependent reductions in plasma symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) levels, a PD biomarker of PRMT5 inhibition. Here, we report expanded PD and genomic analyses and initial results of exploratory proteomic analyses from CA240-0007. Methods: Pts with advanced, unresectable, or metastatic solid tumors with homozygous MTAP -del received BMS-986504 (50–800 mg) in 3-wk cycles. Analyses of SDMA levels and proteomic profiles from paired plasma samples (baseline and C2D1) were performed using mass spectrometry and SomaScan 11K, respectively. Tumor genomic information was extracted from local pathology reports. ORR was assessed per RECIST v1.1. Results: Among 78 pts with paired samples at data cutoff (22 Sept 2025; median f/u, 15.9 mo), dose-dependent reductions were seen in plasma SDMA levels, with the greatest reductions at 400 mg QD (median, 60.3%; n = 31) and 600 mg QD (median, 60.3%; n = 23). Proteomic pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated downregulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR, Myc target, cell cycle, and DNA damage repair (DDR) pathways with BMS-986504 on C2D1 (n = 87), consistent with the expected effect of PRMT5 inhibition; a trend toward deeper modulation of PRMT5-regulated pathways was observed at higher doses. No proteins at baseline (n = 94) were found to be significantly associated with ORR (false discovery rate > 0.05). Responses in clinically evaluable pts with NSCLC (n = 33) or PDAC (n = 35) were observed regardless of EGFR , KRAS , or TP53 status. In pts with NSCLC, STK11 and SMARCA4 alterations were numerically higher in nonresponders. No gene alterations were associated with response in PDAC, except GABRA6 alterations (n = 2, both responders). A trend toward higher ORRs was seen in pts with alterations in DDR genes ( CHEK2, FANCD2, XRCC4 , and/or MSH2 ), consistent with the role of PRMT5 in DDR via regulation of mRNA splicing. ctDNA analysis will be presented. Conclusions: BMS-986504 demonstrated robust dose-dependent PD effects in pts with advanced solid tumors in plasma SDMA and proteomic analyses. Downregulation of PRMT5-regulated pathways was observed with BMS-986504 treatment. Response was seen regardless of EGFR, KRAS , and TP53 alterations in NSCLC or PDAC, and DDR gene alterations were associated with improved response. These findings further support the MOA of BMS-986504 and its ongoing investigation in the phase 2/3 MountainTAP-9, -29, and -30 studies as a potential treatment option in pts with MTAP -del advanced solid tumors.
