Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

FN Media Group Presents USA News Group News Commentary VANCOUVER, BC, March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group - Known as one of the most deadly forms of cancer, pancreatic cancer still has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers today. However, researchers and the biotech sector are working diligently to improve the chances of those who receive this dire diagnosis. Recently, in late 2023, researchers at the Mayo Clinic made a discovery that advances knowledge of how pancreatic cancer spreads and identified a new potential therapeutic target along the way. With the American Cancer Society projecting a record year for new cancer cases in 2024, and Europe facing a pancreatic cancer emergency, it's important to focus on the advances being made in the biotech sector that are giving hope to patients and their families. Among the developers making gains include O ncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), Novartis AG (NYSE: NVS), ImmunityBio, Inc. (NASDAQ: IBRX), Aclaris Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACRS), and Nuvation Bio Inc. (NYSE: NUVB). There is a point of optimism to build upon, as the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) has stated the five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer has increased to 13%. Among the therapy developers that have garnered accolades and support from PanCAN is O ncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), which late last year took home a US$5 million Therapeutic Accelerator Award based on the promising results being delivered by its flagship asset, pelareorep. Since winning the award, Oncolytics has moved to make an amendment to its ongoing GOBLET gastrointestinal cancer study to include a new (fifth) cohort. This new cohort will evaluate the immunotherapy asset pelareorep in combination with modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) both with and without atezolizumab (Tecentriq®) in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). "We are enthusiastic to have the support of PanCAN to expand the evaluation of pelareorep in pancreatic cancer and explore mFOLFIRINOX as another combination that could improve outcomes for patients," said Dr. Matt Coffey, President and CEO of Oncolytics. "Evaluating pelareorep in combination with these widely used regimens is an important step in our broad clinical development program. Last fall, we reported a 62% objective response rate for the GOBLET PDAC cohort studying pelareorep in combination with the checkpoint inhibitor atezolizumab in addition to gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. This response is about three times that of historical controls and forms the basis of the registrational program, expected to begin this year." Oncolytics is conducting the GOBLET trial to investigate the effectiveness of pelareorep in enhancing the treatment of pancreatic cancer, a disease known for its poor 5-year survival rate. This is largely due to the cancer's ability to hide from the immune system and create an environment that suppresses immune response. In late 2022, the FDA granted pelareorep a fast track designation, acknowledging its potential to stimulate both the innate and adaptive immune systems and alter the tumor microenvironment. This makes pelareorep a promising candidate for combination therapy. "This study is designed to evaluate whether pelareorep can enhance outcomes in patients receiving mFOLFIRINOX, one of the most commonly used metastatic pancreatic cancer treatments," said Thomas Heineman, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer at Oncolytics. "Combining pelareorep with mFOLFIRINOX represents an expansion of our existing pancreatic cancer program and maximizes the potential of pelareorep-based combination therapies to benefit pancreatic cancer patients." After discontinuing development of its monoclonal antibody NIS793 for the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer, Novartis AG (NYSE: NVS) has opened 2024 with positive data from its Lutathera asset. In a mid-January release, Novartis announced that Lutathera significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 72% as first-line treatment for patients with advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. "These positive results for Lutathera are practice-changing and offer new first-line treatment data for patients who have a significant unmet need," said Dr. Simron Singh, Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto and co-founder of the Susan Leslie Clinic for Neuroendocrine Tumours at the Odette Cancer Centre, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Ontario, Canada. "This study confirms the clinical benefit of first-line radioligand therapy for newly diagnosed patients living with these types of advanced GEP-NETs. These findings should instill confidence among physicians in using Lutathera as a first-line treatment for patients with this life-threatening type of cancer." Back in early 2022, ImmunityBio, Inc. (NASDAQ: IBRX) showed promising results for its Nant Pancreatic Cancer Vaccine. Now, in February 2024, ImmunityBio has announced full accrual of its first two phases of a cancer vaccine trial in participants with Lynch Syndrome and the initiation of a randomized control phase of the trial. Lynch Syndrome is one of the most common hereditary cancer syndromes, occurring in 1 in every 300 Americans. People with Lynch Syndrome can not only develop colorectal cancer 20 years prior to the average age of diagnosis for that form of cancer but are also at an increased risk of developing many other types of cancers, including pancreatic. "We are encouraged by how rapidly this study has been able to enroll participants," said Asad Umar, D.V.M., Ph.D., a senior advisor to the Director for Translational Research in NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP) and a scientific lead for the trial. "It is a strong indication of an unmet need and of the willingness of participants to help science make new discoveries in the area of cancer prevention." Moving on from a disastrous year in 2023, Aclaris Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACRS) is resurrecting its asset zunsemetinib as a potential cancer treatment. As per the company's last corporate update of 2023, Aclaris now plans to explore zunsemetinib as a potential treatment for pancreatic cancer and metastatic breast cancer. "Throughout our history, Aclaris has remained focused on developing novel drugs where there is a lack of satisfactory treatment options," said Dr. Neal Walker, Co-Founder, Chairman, and Interim CEO of Aclaris in a January 2024 strategic business review. "We are well capitalized and we have recently taken the hard but necessary steps to streamline our operations to reduce costs and preserve capital in order to put Aclaris in an optimal position for the future." In early January 2024, the FDA cleared the investigational new drug (IND) application of Nuvation Bio Inc. (NYSE: NUVB) to evaluate its first clinical candidate from its novel drug-drug conjugate (DDC) platform, NUV-1511. "This IND clearance expands our clinical pipeline and validates the approach of our proprietary DDC platform to design potent oncology-focused chimeric small molecules which combine tumor-targeting specificity with the anti-cancer activity of known oncology agents," said David Hung, M.D., Founder, President, and CEO of Nuvation Bio. "We believe NUV-1511 has the potential to provide favorable clinical benefit for patients with various solid tumors and we look forward to initiating the Phase 1/2 study." The initial part of the Phase 1/2 study will assess safety and tolerability and investigate the potential effectiveness in patients with advanced solid tumors. It will focus on patients with pancreatic cancer, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC). Nuvation is already undergoing dosing in the Phase 1 monotherapy study of NUV-868 in solid tumors in patients with pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), triple-negative breast cancer and other solid tumors. "We remain focused on strong clinical execution of our NUV-868 program for advanced solid tumors," said Hung in his company's Q3 2023 business update.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MACK) (“Merrimack” or the “Company”) today announced its full year 2023 financial results for the period ended December 31, 2023. “As Ipsen reported in February, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the supplemental new drug application for Onivyde® (irinotecan liposome injection) plus 5 fluorouracil/leucovorin and oxaliplatin (NALIRIFOX) as a first-line treatment for people living with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC),” said Gary Crocker, CEO and Chairman of Merrimack’s Board of Directors. “This approval triggers a $225 million payment which is due from Ipsen to Merrimack before the end of March. We expect to hold a special meeting of stockholders to approve a Plan of Dissolution and a liquidating dividend payable to stockholders. We currently anticipate the initial liquidating dividend to be in the range of between approximately $14.65 and $15.35 per share.” Full Year 2023 Financial Results Merrimack reported net loss of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, or $0.08 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.11 per basic share, for the same period in 2022. Merrimack reported a gain on sale of assets for the year ended December 31, 2023, of $0.1 million compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2022. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $2.2 million, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2022. As of December 31, 2023, Merrimack had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $18.9 million, compared to $19.4 million as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2023, Merrimack had 14.4 million shares of common stock outstanding. Updates on Programs Underlying Potential Milestone Payments and Planned Dissolution On February 13, 2024, we announced that Ipsen S.A. announced it had received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, to market ONIVYDE as a first-line treatment of metastatic adenocarcinoma on the pancreas. As a result of this approval by the FDA, we are entitled to receive a $225 million milestone payment from Ipsen, which is expected to be received by the end of March 2024. Merrimack’s Board of Directors has evaluated the likelihood of receiving additional milestone payments under the Ipsen Agreement and from the 2019 Agreement with Elevation Oncology and has concluded that it is unlikely that any additional milestone payments from either agreement will become payable. The Plan of Dissolution will include establishment of a liquidating trust for the benefit of stockholders in the unlikely event that Merrimack might receive any future milestone payments from Ipsen or Elevation Technology. About Merrimack Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts that is entitled to receive up to $450.0 million in contingent milestone payments related to its sale of Onivyde® to Ipsen S.A. in April 2017. $225 million of these potential milestone payments are tied to the first line metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma potential indication and are expected to be received by the end of March. The remaining milestone payments consist of $150 million tied to the small cell lung cancer potential indication and $75 million is tied to other potential applications Ipsen may elect to pursue. These milestone payments would be payable by Ipsen upon approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) of Onivyde for certain additional clinical indications. Merrimack’s agreement with Ipsen does not require Ipsen to provide Merrimack with any information on the progress of Onivyde clinical trials that is not publicly available. Merrimack is also entitled to receive up to $54.5 million in contingent milestone payments related to its sale of anti-HER3 programs to Elevation Oncology (formerly 14ner Oncology, Inc.) in July 2019.

SAN DIEGO, March 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cardiff Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRDF), a clinical-stage biotechnology company leveraging PLK1 inhibition to develop novel therapies across a range of cancers, today announced publications of five abstracts that will be presented in a poster session at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, taking place from April 5-10, 2024, in San Diego, California. “The posters we will be presenting at this year’s AACR meeting represent a broad view of the potential of onvansertib in several different cancer indications, including RAS-mutant mCRC, RAS-wild type mCRC, small cell lung cancer and ovarian cancer,” said Mark Erlander, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Cardiff Oncology. “In RAS-mutated mCRC, we are showing the underlying mechanism through which the combination of onvansertib and bevacizumab targets the hypoxia response pathway. We believe this mechanism explains the strong clinical results we have seen in both our Phase 1b/2 and ONSEMBLE second-line RAS-mutated mCRC clinical trials. The additional posters provide new insights and rationale for future clinical trials in other cancer indications.” Details on the posters and corresponding abstracts are shown below. Poster Title: A phase 1b/2 clinical study of onvansertib in combination with FOLFIRI/bevacizumab revealed a new role of PLK1 in regulating the hypoxia pathway in KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer Session Title: Microenvironment, Immunity, and DNA Repair in Therapeutic Response Session Date and Time: Monday Apr 8, 2024: 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM PT Location: Poster Section 27, Poster Board #14, Abstract Number #2031 This abstract presents updated clinical data and biomarker analysis from the Phase 1b/2 study evaluating onvansertib in combination with FOLFIRI/bevacizumab for second-line treatment of KRAS-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. Analysis of patient baseline characteristics revealed superior clinical benefit in patients not exposed to bevacizumab in first-line treatment (Bev-naïve) compared to Bev-exposed patients. Bev-naive patients exhibited higher objective response rates (73.3% versus 15.7%) and longer median progression-free survival (14.9 versus 7.8 months) compared to Bev-exposed patients. Preclinical studies, using KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer mouse models revealed robust antitumor activity of onvansertib in combination with bevacizumab and a novel role of onvansertib in regulating tumor vascularization. Further preclinical investigations showed that PLK1 regulates the hypoxia pathway in KRAS-mutant CRC cells through the modulation of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha, HIF1α, emphasizing the potential crosstalk between PLK1 and angiogenesis. These findings reinforce the rationale for exploring onvansertib in combination with FOLFIRI/bevacizumab for Bev-naïve mCRC patients with KRAS mutation. Poster Title: The PLK1 inhibitor, onvansertib, is active as monotherapy and in combination with cetuximab in RAS wild-type colorectal cancer patient-derived xenografts Session Title: Drug Resistance 2: Ras GTPase Session Date and Time: Monday Apr 8, 2024: 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM PT Location: Poster Section 24, Poster Board #12, Abstract Number #1934 This abstract focuses on the preclinical assessment of onvansertib’s antitumor activity in RAS wild-type colorectal cancer, as both a monotherapy and in combination with cetuximab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Employing patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, the study highlights the robust antitumor efficacy of onvansertib monotherapy, in cetuximab-sensitive and -resistant RAS wild-type colorectal cancer models. Furthermore, the combination of onvansertib and cetuximab was highly effective, resulting in tumor regression in 90% of the PDXs. These compelling data strongly support the clinical development of onvansertib as a potential treatment for RAS wild-type colorectal cancer. Poster Title: A phase 2, randomized, open-label study of onvansertib in combination with standard-of-care (SoC) versus SoC alone for first-line treatment of RAS-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC) Session Title: Phase II and Phase III Clinical Trials in Progress Session Date and Time: Tuesday, Apr 9, 2024: 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM PT Location: Poster Section 50, Poster Board #5, Abstract Number #CT275 This abstract describes a clinical trial in progress. Poster Title: The PLK1 inhibitor, onvansertib, synergizes with paclitaxel in small cell lung cancer Session Title: Kinase and Phosphatase Inhibitors 1 Session Date and Time: Sunday Apr 7, 2024: 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM PT Location: Poster Section 25, Poster Board #16, Abstract Number #606 This abstract outlines preclinical studies showing the promising potential of combining onvansertib with paclitaxel for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The research reveals significant synergy of the combination in SCLC cell lines and demonstrates its robust antitumor activity in patient-derived xenograft models, including models resistant to the standard therapy cisplatin. Further insights into the combination's mechanism of action will be presented. These findings support that combining onvansertib with paclitaxel could emerge as a highly promising treatment strategy for SCLC. Poster Title: In vivo anti-tumor activity of onvansertib, a PLK1 inhibitor, combined with gemcitabine or carboplatin in platinum-resistant ovarian carcinoma patient-derived xenograft models Session Title: Application of Precision Medicine for Cancer Care Session Date and Time: Sunday Apr 7, 2024: 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM PT Location: Poster Section 39, Poster Board #13, Abstract Number #945 This abstract explores preclinically the potential of combining onvansertib with the chemotherapeutic agents carboplatin or gemcitabine for platinum-resistant high-grade ovarian carcinoma. Using patient-derived xenografts, we demonstrated robust efficacy for both combinations, coupled with favorable tolerability. These data underscore the potential of onvansertib to improve the efficacy of the standard-of-care carboplatin and gemcitabine for patients with platinum-resistant high-grade ovarian carcinoma. The abstracts are available on the AACR Online Program and will be published in the online Proceedings of the AACR. Following presentation, the posters will be posted to the "Scientific Presentations" section of the Cardiff Oncology website. About Cardiff Oncology, Inc.
