Data Highlighting Clinical Efficacy & Molecular Mechanisms of Response to ONC201 Treatment of H3 K27M-Mutant Diffuse Midline Gliomas Published in “Cancer Discovery”
“The survival analyses published today in Cancer Discovery reported that ONC201 frontline treatment, administered post radiation therapy, demonstrated a statistically significant increase in mOS from diagnosis versus historical controls (21.7 months mOS vs. 12 months mOS, p<0.0001). These data are particularly relevant given that enrollment in the ongoing ACTION study occurs in a similar population. Additionally, these data further elucidate the underlying novel mechanism of action for ONC201 in a patient population which has very limited treatment options,” said Mike Andriole, Chief Executive Officer of Chimerix. “While these results require validation in prospectively designed studies, such as the Phase 3 ACTION study, they nevertheless provide ongoing confidence and rationale for ONC201’s monotherapy treatment effect and offer hope to the patients, families and caregivers facing this challenging and life-threatening cancer.”

“KEYTRUDA has helped transform the treatment of certain cancers, and we continue to pursue innovations that build on this breakthrough medicine to give patients and those who treat them better experiences,” said Dr. Marjorie Green, senior vice president and head of oncology, global clinical development, Merck Research Laboratories. “If approved,
“We are disappointed for ovarian cancer patients desperately lacking new treatment options. There has been a great deal of work across the industry in this immunologically cold tumor, yet there are still few treatment options that improve survival in this very difficult-to-treat tumor type. We are still on track to
“The improvement in survival seen in ROSELLA, without an increased safety burden, brings us closer to delivering a new standard-of-care treatment for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer,” said Bill Guyer, PharmD, Corcept’s Chief Development Officer. “We deeply appreciate the patients and investigators who participated in the trial, and we look
“We are grateful for the ongoing guidance and support from the FDA and are very pleased that the agency is fully aligned on our plans related to the Phase 3 trial,” said Stacy Lindborg, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of IMUNON. “The Phase 2 OVATION 2 study data are
