FAILED TRIAL: Topline Results from Two Late-Stage Pamrevlumab Pancreatic Cancer Studies show primary endpoint of OS improvement not achieved
“We are deeply disappointed that the pamrevlumab arm in the Precision Promise trial and the LAPIS trial did not meet the primary endpoint of overall survival,” said Thane Wettig, Chief Executive Officer, FibroGen. “We were hopeful that pamrevlumab could bring meaningful innovation to pancreatic cancer patients in desperate need of new therapies.

I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to our FibroGen colleagues who have dedicated so much of their time and energy for the prospect of bringing much needed therapies to some of the most challenging and deadly diseases affecting humanity.”
