Cardiff Oncology Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

Cardiff Oncology (Nasdaq: CRDF) announced the first patient has been dosed in a Phase 2 trial of onvansertib, combined with nanoliposomal irinotecan and 5-FU, for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This trial targets patients who failed prior gemcitabine therapy and aims to assess safety and preliminary efficacy across 40 patients at six U.S. sites. With PDAC's poor prognosis—7.7% response rate and 3.1-month median progression-free survival—onvansertib may improve treatment outcomes for those with KRAS mutations, prevalent in 95% of PDAC cases.

Cardiff Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRDF) announces Dr. Mark Erlander will present at the Jefferies Virtual Healthcare Conference from June 1-4, 2021. The company focuses on developing onvansertib, a first-in-class Polo-like Kinase 1 inhibitor for challenging cancers such as KRAS-mutated colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer. Dr. Erlander's presentation is scheduled for June 1 at 4:00 PM ET. A replay will be available on the Cardiff Oncology website post-event. The company aims to improve cancer treatment responses and overall patient survival using advanced biomarker technology.

Cardiff Oncology (Nasdaq: CRDF) reported a strong start to 2021, highlighted by progress in clinical trials involving onvansertib for treating KRAS-mutated cancers, including colorectal and pancreatic cancers. The company raised $20 million through a common stock sale to support clinical development. Recent data show promising outcomes, with a median progression-free survival of 9.4 months in a metastatic colorectal cancer trial, significantly better than historical controls. Operating expenses rose to $5.5 million, reflecting advancements in drug development and clinical activities.

Cardiff Oncology, Inc. (CRDF) announced positive results from its ongoing Phase 1b/2 trial of onvansertib for KRAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The trial reported a 39% overall response rate, with a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 9.4 months, significantly surpassing historical mPFS rates. The treatment showed good tolerability with no major toxicities. Biomarker analyses indicate the potential of plasma KRAS mutant allelic frequency in predicting patient response. Upcoming results from the Phase 2 trial are anticipated later this year.

Cardiff Oncology (Nasdaq: CRDF) announced findings from its Expanded Access Program (EAP) for onvansertib in KRAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) at the AACR Annual Meeting 2021. The program enrolled patients who failed multiple standard therapies, showing a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 5.6 months, exceeding historical controls. 62.5% had a >50% decrease in KRAS MAF after one treatment cycle, indicating durable responses. Onvansertib was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported. The EAP has reached capacity and is no longer accepting new participants.

Cardiff Oncology (Nasdaq: CRDF) announced findings from its ongoing Phase 2 trial of onvansertib in mCRPC, presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2021. The study reveals that the androgen receptor signaling inhibitor abiraterone enhances the efficacy of onvansertib by upregulating mitosis-related genes. These results support the hypothesis that combining these drugs could improve clinical outcomes for resistant patients. The poster presentation highlighted a specific gene signature that may predict patient responses, indicating a potential for precision medicine in ongoing trials.

Cardiff Oncology (CRDF), a clinical-stage biotech firm, is set to host a webinar on April 12, 2021, at 11 a.m. ET, focusing on onvansertib for treating KRAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer.

Cardiff Oncology (Nasdaq: CRDF), a clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced two abstracts to be presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2021 from April 10-15, 2021. The first abstract focuses on the Expanded Access Program for their PLK1 inhibitor onvansertib in treating KRAS-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer, showing over 50% decrease in KRAS mutant allelic frequency in several patients. The second highlights preclinical studies on the synergy between onvansertib and abiraterone in treating prostate cancer. Full abstracts will be available online during the event.
