“The final data read out from the Phase 1 study continues to show favorable tolerability and promising antitumor activity as assessed by survival and response data,” said Eileen O’Reilly, MD of David M. Rubenstein Center for Pancreatic Cancer Research, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and lead author on the poster. “We also continued to see a clinically meaningful reduction in levels of CA19.9, a predictive biomarker that often correlates with the long-term outcome and response to treatment in pancreatic cancer patients.”
Necuparanib was administered daily in combination with 125 mg/m2 nabP and 1000 mg/m2 gem (Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle). The necuparanib starting dose was 0.5 mg/kg, which was increased until the maximum tolerated dose of 5 mg/kg was determined. nabP was added to the treatment regimen starting with the third cohort. Thirty-nine patients (12 patients in the first two cohorts and 27 patients in the five subsequent cohorts) received necuparanib and were included in the analyses. Top-line results included:
“We continue to be encouraged by these data from our lead novel drug candidate, and look forward to completing enrollment of the Phase 2 study over the next several months,” said Jim Roach, M.D., Senior Vice President of Development and Chief Medical Officer of Momenta Pharmaceuticals. “We expect to report key results from the Phase 2 study in the second half of 2017.”
About NecuparanibNecuparanib (M402) is a novel oncology drug candidate engineered to have a broad range of effects on tumor cells. The use of heparins to treat venous thrombosis in cancer patients has generated numerous reports of antitumor activity; however, the dose of these products has been limited by their anticoagulant activity. Leveraging its experience in deciphering the structure-function relationships of complex therapeutics, Momenta engineered necuparanib from unfractionated heparin to have significantly reduced anticoagulant activity while preserving relevant antitumor properties associated with heparins. A Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, controlled study in pancreatic cancer is ongoing, which will evaluate the antitumor activity of necuparanib in combination with nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane®) plus gemcitabine, versus nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine alone. Necuparanib has received Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
