  - The pediatric cohort in the trial recently opened ahead of schedule due to faster than expected enrollment and the company anticipates reporting on approximately 20 patients at time of disclosure

Zovegalisib 2025 Highlights

Breast Cancer
- Continued execution of the Phase 3 ReDiscover-2 trial of zovegalisib + fulvestrant in PI3Kα-mutated, CDK4/6 pre-treated, HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer
- Presented data from Phase 1/2 ReDiscover trial of zovegalisib + fulvestrant at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2025 Annual Meeting and the 2025 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS). SABCS summary with a data cut-off date of October 15, 2025:
  - The median progression free survival (PFS) was 10.3 months for all patients (n=52).
  - Among the total of 31 patients with measurable disease, objective response rate (ORR) was 39%. For second line (2L) patients, median PFS was 11.4 months and ORR was 47%. Median follow-up was 20.2 months.
  - Efficacy was generally consistent across other subsets of patients. For patients who received prior SERD, median PFS was 11.4 months and ORR was 44% (7/16), and for patients who had a detectable ESR1 mutation at baseline, median PFS was 8.8 months and ORR was 60% (6/10).
  - The overall tolerability profile remained consistent with mutant-selective PI3Kα inhibition, with treatment-related adverse events that were mostly low-grade, manageable and reversible.
- Triplet cohorts of zovegalisib in combination with atirmociclib, ribociclib, or palbociclib are ongoing to inform frontline Phase 3 preferred regimen and plans
Vascular Anomalies
- Continued execution of Phase 1 ReInspire trial of zovegalisib in PIK3CA-driven vascular anomalies

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments: As of December 31, 2025, cash, cash equivalents, and investments totaled $554.5 million compared to approximately $781.3 million as of December 31, 2024. The company expects its current cash, cash equivalents, and investments will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2029.

Revenue: Revenue was $7.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to $0 for the fourth quarter of 2024. Revenue was $15.4 million for the full year 2025, as compared to $10.0 million for the full year 2024. The revenue recognized in the current year periods was under our Exclusive License Agreement with Elevar Therapeutics, Inc. The revenue recognized in the prior year periods was under our Collaboration and License Agreement with Genentech, Inc.

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $55.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to $68.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Research and development expenses were $261.4 million for the full year 2025, as compared to $319.1 million for the full year 2024. The decreases were primarily due to the series of strategic choices to streamline the research organization throughout 2024 and 2025, as well as decreases in costs incurred on continued development of lirafugratinib after execution of the Exclusive License Agreement with Elevar Therapeutics, Inc. in December 2024, offset by increases in costs related to the ReDiscover-2 trial and ReInspire trial.

G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $12.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to $16.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. General and administrative expenses were $56.7 million for the full year 2025, as compared to $76.6 million for the full year 2024. The decreases were primarily due to decreases in stock compensation expense and other employee costs.

Net Loss: Net loss was $54.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, or a net loss per share of $0.32, as compared to a net loss of $76.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, or a net loss per share of $0.45. Net loss was $276.5 million for the full year 2025, or a net loss per share of $1.61, as compared to a net loss of $337.7 million for the full year 2024, or a net loss per share of $2.36.

About Zovegalisib

Zovegalisib is the lead program in Relay Therapeutics’ efforts to discover and develop mutant selective inhibitors of PI3Kα, the most frequently mutated kinase in all cancers and all vascular anomalies. Zovegalisib has the potential, if approved, to address a significant portion of the approximately 140,000 patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer with a PI3Kα mutation and the estimated 170,000 patients with vascular anomalies driven by a PI3Kα mutation per year in the United States, one of the largest patient populations for a precision medicine.

Traditionally, the development of PI3Kα inhibitors has focused on the active, or orthosteric, site. The therapeutic index of orthosteric inhibitors is limited by the lack of clinically meaningful selectivity for mutant versus wild-type (WT) PI3Kα and off-isoform activity. Toxicity related to inhibition of WT PI3Kα and other PI3K isoforms results in sub-optimal inhibition of mutant PI3Kα with reductions in dose intensity and frequent discontinuation. The Dynamo® platform enabled the discovery of zovegalisib, the first known allosteric, pan-mutant, and isoform-selective PI3Kα inhibitor, designed to overcome these limitations. Relay Therapeutics solved the full-length cryo-EM structure of PI3Kα, performed computational long time-scale molecular dynamic simulations to elucidate conformational differences between WT and mutant PI3Kα, and leveraged these insights to support the design of zovegalisib. Zovegalisib is currently being evaluated in multiple metastatic breast cancer studies and a first-in-human study designed to treat patients with PIK3CA (PI3Kα) mutation driven vascular anomalies.
