Operationally, the lead asset, bezuclastinib, is advancing rapidly through regulatory pathways with the NDA for NonAdvSM already submitted, the PEAK NDA for GIST initiated under the favorable Real-Time Oncology Review and Breakthrough Therapy Designation, and the APEX NDA for AdvSM on track. These milestones underscore the drug's broad potential and the company's move towards commercialization in the second half of 2026.
