First Patient Enrolled in AFFIRM-205, a Ph III Study of LAE002 (afuresertib) + Fulvestrant for Treatment of Breast Cancer
“As shown in the results of Phase Ib study, the median PFS of afuresertib plus fulvestrant was 7.3 months. This is a significant improvement compared to the PFS data of 3-4 months for fulvestrant monotherapy. This combination therapy also demonstrated a favorable safety profile and the potential efficacy of AKT inhibitors to treat breast cancer, especially patients with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations and HR+/HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer”, said Academician Binghe Xu, the lead investigator of the study. “While therapies for breast cancer are increasing, the treatment of drug resistance remains one of the clinical challenges. I am feeling excited about the coming Phase III study of afuresertib in breast cancer”.
