• Focuses Company’s resources on its deep clinical oncology pipeline
• Positioned to advance four clinical programs through multiple upcoming milestones

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. & MONTREAL / Aug 28, 2024 / Business Wire / Repare Therapeutics Inc. (“Repare” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RPTX), a leading clinical-stage precision oncology company, today announced the strategic reprioritization of its research and development activities to focus its efforts on the advancement of its portfolio of clinical-stage oncology programs. With multiple upcoming clinical milestones and potential near-term registration-enabling studies, the Company is streamlining its operations to focus on the advancement of its lunresertib, camonsertib, RP-1664 and RP-3467 programs while materially reducing the scale of its preclinical research and discovery activities.

“We acknowledge today the extraordinary contributions and productivity of our discovery team, who have enabled the development of our deep, innovative clinical portfolio. In our mission to rapidly develop new, practice-changing therapies, we will more fully dedicate our resources to our most promising and advanced precision oncology programs to maximize value for patients and for our shareholders,” said Lloyd M. Segal, President and Chief Executive Officer of Repare. “We remain on track to report data from our MYTHIC dose expansion trial evaluating lunresertib in combination with camonsertib in patients with ovarian and endometrial cancers in the fourth quarter of 2024, with the potential to begin a registrational trial in 2025.”

As part of this strategic refocus, Repare plans to reduce its overall workforce by approximately 25%, with a majority of the headcount reductions from the Company’s preclinical group. Repare expects total non-recurring cash payments of approximately $1.5 million to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 associated with the workforce reduction, and expects to generate annual savings of approximately $15.0 million that will extend its cash runway into the second half of 2026, while aggressively pursuing the further development of its clinical portfolio.

“I want to thank all of our impacted Repare colleagues who have contributed to the pioneering research and innovation, some for more than seven years, to significantly advance Repare in its mission to deliver novel medicines for patients in need,” continued Segal.

Clinical Programs and Upcoming Milestones:

Lunresertib (RP-6306): First-in-class, oral small molecule inhibitor of PKMYT1

• Repare expects to report data from the ongoing MYTHIC dose expansion clinical trial of lunresertib and camonsertib at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian and endometrial cancers harboring CCNE1 amplification or FBXW7 or PPP2R1A mutations in the fourth quarter of 2024, with the potential to begin a registrational trial in 2025.
• Repare is evaluating lunresertib in combination with Debio 0123, a highly selective, brain-penetrant, clinical WEE1 inhibitor, in Module 4 of the ongoing MYTHIC trial in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring CCNE1 amplification or FBXW7 or PPP2R1A deleterious alterations. Repare expects to report initial data from Module 4 of the MYTHIC trial in 2025.
• Repare also recently reported positive data from the MINOTAUR trial of lunresertib and FOLFIRI showing promising efficacy and duration of therapy in the heavily pretreated population with tumors that harbor CCNE1 amplification and FBXW7 mutation alterations that warrant further development.

Camonsertib (RP-3500): Potential best-in-class oral small molecule inhibitor of ATR

• Repare is evaluating camonsertib as a monotherapy in the ongoing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expansion of the Phase 2 TRESR clinical trial. Camonsertib has demonstrated a promising signal of prolonged progression free survival in patients with ATM-mutated NSCLC in the TRESR trial. Repare expects to report initial data from the TRESR trial in 2025.

RP-1664: First-in-class, highly selective, oral inhibitor of PLK4

• Repare is evaluating RP-1664 as a monotherapy in the Phase 1 LIONS clinical trial in adult and adolescent patients with TRIM37-high solid tumors. After evaluating safety in the LIONS trial, the Company expects to rapidly advance RP-1664 into a Phase 1/2 trial in pediatric patients with high risk, recurrent neuroblastoma, where the patients have a high prevalence of TRIM37-altered tumors.

RP-3467: Potential best-in-class Polθ ATPase inhibitor

• Repare expects to initiate a Phase 1 dose-finding clinical trial of RP-3467 in the fourth quarter of 2024.
