Ph 1 Data Evaluating Concurrent Paxalisib + RT in Patients with Solid Tumor Brain Mets or Leptomeningeal Mets Harboring PI3K Pathway Mutations announced
“The encouraging response rates observed from this Phase 1 study suggests that the concurrent administration of the investigational brain penetrant PI3K inhibitor, paxalisib, in combination radiation therapy appears to be a viable treatment approach for addressing the tumor radioresistance in patients harboring PI3K pathway mutations,” said John Friend, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Kazia Therapeutics. “Additional data, including circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from this study will be presented at an upcoming 2024 scientific congress and discussions for a potential pivotal registration study to evaluate this unique combination therapy for patients with PI3K mutant brain metastases are ongoing.”
