• Phosphoinositide 3-kinase alpha (PI3Kα) H1047R mutations are activating oncogenic events that occur in ~15% of

breast cancers and less commonly in other cancers.

• All approved and investigational PI3Kα inhibitors inhibit both wild-type and mutated PI3Kα with approximate equal

potency. As a result, their efficacy is potentially limited by on-target wild-type PI3Kα mediated toxicity including

dose-limiting hyperglycemia as well as cutaneous and GI toxicity.

• Here we describe the preclinical profile of LOXO-783, a potent, highly mutant-selective and brain-penetrant

allosteric PI3Kα H1047R inhibitor.

LOXO-783 (Tested at 3 µM)

PI3Kβ(p110β/p85α) 110%

PI3Kγ(p110γ) 85%

PI3Kδ(p110δ/p85α) 103%

LOXO-783 has excellent selectivity for PI3Kα H1047Rover other PI3K isoforms and non-lipid kinases

• LOXO-783 is exquisitely selective for PI3Kα H1047R – complete enzymatic activity of PI3Kβ, PI3Kγ, PI3Kδ is preserved despite a high concentration of LOXO-783 (3 µM)

• LOXO-783 had no hits in panels of 17 lipid kinases or 368 non-lipid kinases

Page 7: Preclinical characterization of LOXO-783 (LOX-22783), a

LOXO-783 selectively inhibits proliferation of PI3KαH1047R cells, but not other PI3Kα mutant or WT breast cancer cells in contrast to alpelisib

TGX-221 = p110β-specific inhibitor EC50 values adjusted for fetal bovine serum (FBS)-protein binding

• LOXO-783 has single digit nanomolar (<5 nM) potency inhibiting proliferation of H1047R breast cancer cell lines, markedly higher cellular potency than alpelisib (150-320 nM)

• LOXO-783 does not inhibit other PI3Kα WT/K111N mutant cell lines, or PTENmut cell lines, in contrast to alpelisib

Conclusions

• LOXO-783 is a potent, highly mutant-selective and brain-penetrant allosteric PI3Kα H1047R inhibitor

• LOXO-783 does not inhibit wild-type PI3Kα, other PI3K isoforms, or other kinases

• LOXO-783 causes significant tumor regressions in several ER+, HER2-, PI3Kα H1047R-mutant

breast cancer models without causing significant weight loss or any increase in insulin or C-peptide

• An IND submission is planned for 2022
