"We expect 2023 to be a catalyst rich year for Black Diamond following tremendous progress for our two novel MasterKey inhibitors, with BDTX-1535 continuing to advance through our Phase 1 clinical trial and BDTX-4933 meeting critical milestones to further progress toward the clinic. The clearance of the Investigational New Drug application for BDTX-4933 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration earlier this year marks our third IND allowance in three years and demonstrates the strength of our MAP drug discovery engine along with the expertise of our research and clinical teams. We are driven by the clear unmet need for next-generation precision medicines to treat cancers by overcoming resistance, minimizing on-target and wild-type mediated toxicities, and addressing brain disease. We’ve designed a robust pipeline of products with brain penetration properties to address these key challenges," said David Epstein, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Black Diamond. "We anticipate a clinical update for BDTX-1535 in the second half of 2023. We also expect to initiate the Phase 1 clinical trial of BDTX-4933 in the first half of this year and to progress our FGFR program and another undisclosed program toward development candidate nominations in 2023. As we continue to mature our pipeline, we are acutely focused on delivering meaningful benefit to patients and we believe that our approach has the potential to strengthen the treatment landscape for genetically defined cancers."
