STX-721 is an oral, covalent, mutant-selective inhibitor of EGFR and HER2 Exon 20 insertion (ex20ins) mutants, a well-validated target that saw its first approval with mobocertinib in 2022. Inhibition of wild-type (WT) EGFR is well-established to cause skin and gut toxicities, and selective inhibition of EGFR ex20ins mutants over WT may also allow greater efficacy to be seen at tolerated doses. This is an excellent case study for PK optimization with a covalent inhibitor, and [...]
