PRINCETON, N.J., March 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PMV Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PMVP), a precision oncology company pioneering the discovery and development of small molecule, tumor-agnostic therapies targeting p53, today reported financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2022, and provided a corporate update.

“Our team successfully delivered on key clinical development milestones in 2022, highlighted by the preliminary monotherapy data from the ongoing PYNNACLE study, and the initiation of a separate combination arm of PC14586 with KEYTRUDA,” said David Mack, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer. “The initial PC14586 data have demonstrated clinical proof of concept for PC14586 as a monotherapy to selectively reactivate p53 across multiple tumor types. In alignment with FDA draft guidance on Project Optimus, we continue to enroll additional patients in the PYNNACLE study and intend to provide a comprehensive clinical and regulatory update, including our recommended Phase 2 dose, in the second half of 2023.”

Full Year 2022 and Recent Corporate Highlights:

• Preliminary results from the ongoing Phase 1/2 PYNNACLE study of PC14586 in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring a p53 Y220C mutation were featured in an oral presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2022 Annual Meeting. Patient enrollment in PYNNACLE continues on track.
• Enrolled the first patient in a combination arm of the PYNNACLE study evaluating PC14586 in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring a p53 Y220C mutation. PMV and Merck entered into a collaboration in 2022 under the terms of which Merck will supply KEYTRUDA for this study.
• Appointed Kirsten Flowers and Carol Gallagher, Pharm.D. to the Board of Directors. Ms. Flowers and Dr. Gallagher each bring decades of experience in drug development and commercialization.
• Promotion of Michael Carulli to Senior Vice President, Finance. Mr. Carulli joined PMV in 2020 and has made significant contributions in building the finance function as the company transitioned to becoming a publicly traded company.
• Primary focus on the clinical development of PC14586 and the pipeline program R282W. The WIP-1 and R273H programs have been put on hold which we expect will extend the company’s projected cash runway to 1H 2025.
• Global headquarters moved to Princeton, NJ.

Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results

• As of December 31, 2022, PMV Pharma had $243.5 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, compared to $314.1 million at December 31, 2021.
