Positive Initial Data Announced from Ph 1 MINOTAUR Trial of Lunresertib in Combination with FOLFIRI
“The initial results from the ongoing MINOTAUR trial demonstrate promising efficacy and tolerability data of lunresertib plus FOLFIRI in genomically defined tumors that represent 20% of all gastrointestinal cancers,” said Dr. Elisa Fontana. “These early data suggest that lunresertib plus FOLFIRI combination therapy may effectively treat patients with CCNE1 amplification and deleterious FBXW7 mutations, who often suffer from poor prognosis and lack approved treatment options.
