First Patient Dosed in Randomized Ph 2 Trial of Palupiprant (AN0025) for the Treatment of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer with Radiation Therapy
“This study aims to contribute to a transformation currently taking place in rectal cancer treatment. For locally advanced rectal cancer, traditionally chemoradiation followed by radical surgery has been the standard of care, despite the significant morbidity associated with surgery. Following the promising published phase 1b data, the current study assesses whether AN0025 increases the likelihood of achieving a cCR, when added to TNT in the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer. We are very excited to explore the potential of AN0025 to improve efficacy, minimize invasive surgery, and offer patients a viable alternative,” said Prof Simon Gollins, the consultant in clinical oncology at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.
