Purple Biotech announced interim data from its Phase 2 study of CM24 in combination with nivolumab and standard-of-care (SoC) chemotherapy for second-line metastatic pancreatic cancer (PDAC) at ASCO 2024.
The results show a 26% reduction in the risk of death and a 28% reduction in risk of progression or death. Patients treated with CM24+nivolumab+SoC had a median overall survival of 7.72 months compared to 5.62 months with SoC alone.
Additionally, the combination therapy resulted in a 1.9-month improvement in median progression-free survival. The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were also higher in the experimental arm (25% and 63%, respectively) compared to SoC (7% and 40%).
The study enrolled 63 patients across 18 centers in the U.S., Spain, and Israel. The investigational therapy was well-tolerated with manageable side effects. Topline final data is expected by the end of 2024.
