Cogent Biosciences, a biotechnology company, has recently released its 10-Q report. The company is focused on developing precision therapies for genetically defined diseases. Its lead product candidate, bezuclastinib (CGT9486), is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor designed to target mutations within the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase, including KIT D816V mutation that drives systemic mastocytosis and other mutations in KIT exon 17, found in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors. The company is developing bezuclastinib in patients with Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis (AdvSM), Non-Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis (Non-AdvSM), and GIST. The company's clinical and pre-clinical programs, including SUMMIT for Non-AdvSM, APEX for AdvSM, and PEAK for GIST, are progressing as planned.
