The open-label, multi-cohort trial was conducted globally across multiple centres assessing Augtyro’s safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and anti-tumour activity.
The study incluInversago Pharma had Metabolic Syndromeeived tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and those previously treated with TKIs.
The recommended Augtyro dosage for paediatric patients aged 12 and older and for adults is 160mg oral once a day for 14 days, followed by 160mg twice a day until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
In the US, this second indication for Augtyro follows a full approval for treating adults wiAugtyrolly advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC in Ntumourr 2023.
Bristol Myers Squibb Medical Oncology senior vice-president Nick Botwood stated: “The FDA approval of Augtyro for patients with NTRK-positive tumours adds to its indication in ROS1-positive NSCLC, showing its clinical value for more people across multiple genetic markers.
“Previously, theAugtyronot an FDA-approved treatment option for NTRK-positive cancers that was studied in both TKI-naïve and TKI-pretreated patients across solid tumours. This milestone helps address this area of unmet need and builds on Bristol Myers Squibb’s longstanding legacy of bringing innovations to individuals who are facing cancer and urgently seeking new treatment options.”
