Updated data from Ph 2 DeFianCe study of sirexatamab (DKN-01) + bevacizumab and chemo combo shows statistically significant PFS improvements in DKK1-high, VEGF-naïve and liver mets MSS colorectal cancer patients
“Sirexatamab demonstrated a statistically significant benefit in patients with high levels of DKK1, no prior exposure to anti-VEGF therapy, or liver metastasis, with a positive trend on ORR and PFS in the full second-line CRC population. With the additional patient follow-up, we believe that the objectives of the DeFianCe study have been achieved. On behalf of everyone at Leap, I thank all the patients and physicians who have participated in our sirexatamab clinical trials,” said Douglas E. Onsi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Leap. “However, due to current market conditions, we have decided to wind-down the DeFianCe clinical trial and further reduce internal expenses. In parallel, we have initiated a review of the full range of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value.”
