Positive Interim Ph 2 Data for Darovasertib in the Neoadjuvant Setting of Primary Uveal Melanoma Announced
“The data presented in this study represents a potential breakthrough advance for subjects with primary uveal melanoma where there currently is no neoadjuvant therapy available that can shrink tumors in this setting,” said Dr. Arun D. Singh, Director of the Department of Ophthalmic Oncology at the Cole Eye Institute, Cleveland Clinic. “We are delighted to see the progress we are making with darovasertib as a single agent in subjects with mid-sized tumors requiring plaque brachytherapy,” said Dr. Darrin Beaupre, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer, IDEAYA Biosciences. “Darovasertib is generally well-tolerated and showing initial evidence of shrinking tumors effectively, and the results imply that the associated radiation reduction observed will likely lead to improvements in vision not only during therapy but post-plaque brachytherapy.”
