Current report
We are currently evaluating silevertinib in a Phase 2 clinical trial in the first-line setting in patients with EGFRm NSCLC harboring non-classical EGFR mutations and in the fourth quarter of 2025, we announced initial data from our Phase 2 trial of 43 frontline NSCLC patients harboring a broad spectrum of 35 distinct non-classical EGFR mutations, including 16 patients with brain metastases (7 of whom had measurable CNS target lesions). All patients were enrolled at a 200mg oral daily dose of silevertinib. Efficacy and safety were assessed with a November 3, 2025 data cutoff and median follow-up time as of this date was 7.2 months, the study is fully enrolled and remains ongoing. The initial data from this trial was encouraging with 25 confirmed partial responses and 1 confirmed complete response equating to a 60% Objective Response Rate (ORR by RECIST 1.1). CNS ORR (by RANO-BM) was 86% and the disease control rate (DCR) was 91%. No new safety signals were observed. Adverse events (AEs) experienced by a majority of patients include rash, stomatitis, diarrhea and paronychia and were managed with standard supportive care and dose interruptions or reductions without compromising response depth or durability. As of the November 3, 2025 data cutoff, 29 patients remained on therapy (5 of 29 after progression) with one patient having been on therapy for more than 19 months. We plan to present updated results from the Phase 2 NSCLC trial, including preliminary duration of response (DOR) and progression-free survival (PFS) data in the frontline setting (43 patients) as well as updated clinical results in the recurrent setting (83 patients), at a medical meeting in the second quarter of 2026.
Current report
Silevertinib has demonstrated encouraging CNS activity in multiple trials across NSCLC and GBM. In our Phase 2 in frontline patients with EGFRm NSCLC 86% of patients achieved a confirmed CNS response. The results from our Phase 1 trial of silevertinib in patients with relapsed/recurrent GBM (presented at ASCO in 2024) showed encouraging duration of treatment and clinical activity, and a tolerability profile consistent with the initial safety data seen in patients with recurrent NSCLC. A Phase 0/1 “window of opportunity” study sponsored by the Ivy Brain Tumor Center in Phoenix, Arizona in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma (HGG) with EGFR alterations and/or fusions at initial diagnosis demonstrated that silevertinib exceeded the pre-specified threshold for drug concentration in the brain tumor tissue and was generally well tolerated. It also showed that silevertinib penetrates non-contrast enhancing regions of glioblastoma and suppresses EGFR signaling in patient tumors. Based on these data and together with the robust CNS ORR demonstrated by silevertinib to date in our Phase 2 trial in frontline EGFRm NSCLC patents, we believe that silevertinib is uniquely positioned as a potential treatment for patients with newly diagnosed EGFR-altered GBM. Following feedback on the study design received from the FDA in January 2026, we are preparing to initiate a randomized Phase 2 trial in this patient population in the second quarter of 2026. After a combination safety lead-in of silevertinib plus temozolomide (TMZ), the trial is expected to enroll approximately 150 newly diagnosed patients, randomized to receive TMZ (as the control arm) or silevertinib plus TMZ (as the experimental arm). The eligible patient population will be on EGFRvIII-positive patients (approximately 30% of GBM patients) who are O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) -negative (unmethylated). Randomization and treatment will begin after patients have had surgical resection and radiation and are eligible for maintenance TMZ. The primary endpoint of the trial will be PFS (RANO by blinded independent committee review, or BICR), with a planned futility analysis, and an interim PFS analysis anticipated in the first half 2028. The secondary endpoint of the trial will be overall survival (OS). The trial will be governed by an independent data monitoring committee (IDMC).
Current report
We are also continuing to explore potential partnership opportunities to advance silevertinib into pivotal development.

Previous report
We recently completed enrollment of BDTX-1535 in a Phase 2 clinical trial of 83 patients with EGFRm NSCLC in the second- and third-line settings. In September 2024, we announced initial Phase 2 data from this trial demonstrating encouraging clinical responses and durability of BDTX-1535. The 200 mg daily dose of BDTX-1535 was selected for pivotal development, showing robust EGFRm target coverage and a favorable tolerability profile with no new safety signals observed. Based on an August 2024 data cutoff, a preliminary overall response rate (ORR) of 42% was seen in 19 patients with known osimertinib resistance EGFR mutations (PACC “P-loop αC-helix compressing” and C797S mutations). Acquisition of C797S was frequently observed in patients who progressed following treatment with osimertinib. PACC mutations represent a structure-function group of non-classical oncogenic driver mutations which may accumulate or be acquired following treatment with osimertinib. Encouraging durability was noted with a duration of response (DOR) of approximately eight months or more in the first three patients who achieved a partial response (PR), while 14 of the 19 patients remained on treatment. We expect to present updated results from this trial in the second half of 2025 and are exploring potential combination opportunities for BDTX-1535 in the recurrent setting.
Previous report
In June 2024, at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, we presented preliminary data from the Phase 1 trial of BDTX-1535 in patients with relapsed/recurrent GBM, demonstrating encouraging duration of treatment and clinical activity, and a tolerability profile consistent with the initial safety data from the dose escalation portion of the Phase 1 trial presented in 2023. At the June 2024 ASCO meeting, our collaborators at the Ivy Brain Tumor Center also presented initial intratumoral pharmacokinetic data from a “window of opportunity” study in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma (HGG) with EGFR alterations and/or fusions at initial diagnosis. This study, also known as a Phase 0/1 “Trigger” trial, is sponsored by the Ivy Brain Tumor Center. Initial results from this trial demonstrated that BDTX-1535 exceeded the pre-specified threshold for drug concentration in the brain tumor tissue and was generally well tolerated with expected EGFR-mediated side effects. Additional promising results from this trial were presented by the Ivy Brain Tumor Center at the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) meeting in October 2024 and at the Society of Neuro-Oncology (SNO) Annual Meeting in November 2024. The data demonstrated that BDTX-1535 penetrates rarely accessible regions of glioblastoma and suppresses EGFR signaling in patient tumors. In the first quarter of 2025, the program is expected to expand into a Phase 0/2 “window of opportunity” trial in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients with EGFR aberrations.

Our second clinical-stage asset, BDTX-4933, is designed to be a potent and selective, reversible oral inhibitor that targets broad families of oncogenic BRAF, KRAS and NRAS alterations. BDTX-4933 selectively targets constitutively active RAF dimers resulting from either BRAF mutations or other upstream oncogenic MAPK pathway alterations, such as KRAS and NRAS alterations. In preclinical tumor models, we observed that BDTX-4933 demonstrated brain-penetrant activity and achieved regression of tumors carrying a broad spectrum of KRAS mutations, NRAS alterations, as well as BRAF Class I, II, and III mutations. We initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial for BDTX-4933 in the second quarter of 2023 in patients with BRAF and select KRAS and NRAS mutation-positive cancers, with an emphasis on patients with non-G12C KRAS mutant NSCLC. In October 2024, we announced we are actively seeking partnerships for this asset as we deprioritize the BDTX-4933 program in RAF/RAS-mutant solid tumors and focus resources on our lead program BDTX-1535.

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act) permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to not “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards at the time private companies adopt the new or revised accounting standard and will do so until such time that we either (i) irrevocably elect to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualify as an emerging growth company.

Previous wording
We believe that our clinical-stage lead product candidate, BDTX-1535, has the potential to treat newly diagnosed patients with EGFRm NSCLC, as well as those with recurrent disease, based upon BDTX-1535’s ability to address greater than 50 classical and non-classical oncogenic driver mutations with greater potency than other EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), as well as uniquely target the C797S resistance mutation which can be acquired after treatment with osimertinib. BDTX-1535 was shown to be well tolerated and achieve durable clinical responses in our Phase 1 trial in patients with recurrent EGFRm NSCLC whose tumors expressed a range of mutation subtypes, including the acquired C797S resistance mutation and a broad spectrum of non-classical mutations. We are currently evaluating BDTX-1535 in a Phase 2 clinical trial in the first-line setting in patients with EGFRm NSCLC harboring non-classical EGFR mutations. Initial results from the first-line cohort are anticipated in the second quarter of 2025.

We may sell the Shares in amounts and at times to be determined by us from time to time subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, but we have no obligation to sell any Shares under the Sales Agreement. We or Jefferies may suspend or terminate the offering of Shares upon notice to the other party and subject to other conditions. As of December 31, 2025, we sold 4,490,853 shares of our common stock pursuant to the ATM Program, resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $25.0 million ($24.5 million net of offering costs).

As of December 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $98.6 million, which we believe will fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2026. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We anticipate that we will require additional capital as we seek regulatory approval of our product candidates and if we choose to pursue in-licenses or acquisitions of other product candidates. If we receive regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution, depending on where we choose to commercialize.

Emerging growth company and smaller reporting company status
Current wording
Smaller reporting company status
Previous wording
Effective as of December 31, 2025, the fifth anniversary of the closing of our IPO, we will no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company.” As a result, commencing with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, we will no longer be eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to emerging growth companies.
Current wording
Effective as of December 31, 2025, the fifth anniversary of the closing of our IPO, we no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company.” As a result, commencing with this Annual Report, we are no longer eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to emerging growth companies.
Previous wording
We are also a “smaller reporting company” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
Current wording
We are still a “smaller reporting company” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. As a smaller reporting company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies despite the loss of emerging growth company status. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
