Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 21, 2026, Olema Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing preliminary clinical data from its Phase 1 study of OP-3136, a potent lysine acetyltransferase 6 (KAT6) inhibitor. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

The information in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.


Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

As described above, on May 21, 2026, the Company announced preliminary clinical data from its Phase 1 study of OP-3136. The Phase 1 study evaluates dose escalation followed by dose expansion of OP-3136 in patients with estrogen receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (ER+/HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC), metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC). In Part 1A, OP-3136 monotherapy was administered orally once daily in 28-day cycles across dose levels from 2-45 mg. As of the March 2, 2026 data cut-off, 32 heavily pretreated patients who became resistant or intolerant to standard of care treatments were enrolled in this cohort. The data will be presented in a poster presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting on May 30, 2026 in Chicago, Illinois.

 

Key Findings

Safety and Tolerability

OP-3136 monotherapy was well-tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities observed across the evaluated daily dose range up to 45 mg per day orally.
Most treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were grade 1 or 2; no grade 4 or 5 TRAEs were observed. TRAEs were manageable with dose modifications; no treatment discontinuations occurred due to TRAEs.
The most common TRAEs were dysgeusia (81% any grade; 56% grade 1, 25% grade 2), anemia (38% any grade; 6% grade 3), and neutropenia (34% any grade; 28% grade 3).

Efficacy and Target Engagement

Among 19 response-evaluable patients across dose levels and tumor types, tumor shrinkage was observed in 13 patients; partial responses were observed in 3 patients with measurable disease, with 2 confirmed PRs and 1 unconfirmed PR.
The longest duration of treatment is 62 weeks.
11 patients remain on treatment, including 9 with ABC and 2 with mCRPC.
Across all doses tested, OP-3136 demonstrated rapid, sustained, and significant reduction in levels of lysine 23 of histone H3, a direct target of KAT6, consistent with on-target KAT6 inhibition.

Pharmacokinetics

OP-3136 exhibited predictable, dose-proportional plasma exposure across all doses tested.
At doses of 6 mg and above, steady-state concentrations exceeded efficacy targets based on preclinical models.

 

The Company will also present a trial-in-progress poster for the Phase 3 OPERA-02 trial of palazestrant in combination with ribociclib in frontline ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer.
