Paxalisib Clinical Trial Expanded into HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer
“HR+/HER2- breast cancer accounts for approximately 60–70% of all breast cancer diagnoses, and we expect nearly 322,000 new cases in the U.S. alone this year,” said Dr. John Friend, Chief Executive Officer of Kazia Therapeutics. “That scale, combined with the persistent need for better options once patients progress on standard therapy, represents a significant area of unmet medical need where paxalisib may play a role. Our preclinical data showing statistically significant, additive antitumor activity when paxalisib is combined with standard-of-care therapy gives us strong confidence in this approach, and we are moving quickly to bring this combination into the clinic for these patients. With the completion of our recent financing, based on our current plans and projections, we now have the capital in place to fund this program through completion.”
