About TERN-701 and CARDINAL Phase 1 Clinical Trial
TERN-701 is currently being evaluated in the CARDINAL trial (NCT06163430), a global multi-center dose escalation and dose-expansion Phase 1 clinical trial to assess safety, tolerability and efficacy in patients with previously treated chronic phase (CP) CML. The dose escalation portion of the Phase 1 CARDINAL study completed in January 2025 with no dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed up to the maximum dose of 500 mg QD. Terns initiated the dose expansion portion study in April 2025 with patients randomized to one of two dose cohorts (320 mg or 500 mg QD) with up to 40 patients per arm. Terns plans to report efficacy and safety data from the Phase 1 CARDINAL trial in the fourth quarter of 2025, including 6-month major molecular response achievement rate.

Previously announced positive interim data from the dose escalation portion of the trial demonstrated compelling molecular responses starting at the lowest dose in heavily pre-treated CML patients with high baseline BCR-ABL transcript levels. It also showed an encouraging safety profile with no dose limiting toxicities, adverse event-related treatment discontinuations or dose reductions across all dose escalation cohorts.
