Processa Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: PCSA) announces positive preclinical data for NGC-Iri, a next-generation irinotecan prodrug. Studies in human melanoma xenograft mouse models show NGC-Iri delivers more cancer-killing SN-38 to tumors than FDA-approved treatments irinotecan and Onivyde®. Key findings include:
1. Higher tumor-to-muscle SN-38 ratio (200 for NGC-Iri vs <15 for others)
2. Greater tumor-to-plasma SN-38 ratio (10 for NGC-Iri vs <7 for others)
3. Lower muscle-to-plasma SN-38 ratio (<0.10 for NGC-Iri vs >0.4 for others)
These results suggest NGC-Iri may offer improved efficacy and fewer side effects compared to existing treatments. Processa is currently defining the regulatory path for NGC-Iri, including target patient population and cancer type for FDA presentation.
Processa Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: PCSA) has received FDA clearance for its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for Next Generation Capecitabine (NGC-Cap), paving the way for a Phase 2 clinical trial in advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The open-label study, set to begin enrollment in Q3 2024, will compare two doses of NGC-Cap to FDA-approved monotherapy capecitabine in 60-90 patients. Initial data is expected mid-2025.
NGC-Cap demonstrated 5-10 times more 5-fluorouracil exposure to cancer cells in a Phase 1b study, potentially offering greater efficacy with a similar or better safety profile than existing capecitabine treatments. The trial aims to evaluate NGC-Cap's safety-efficacy profile, determine optimal dosage regimens, and explore personalized therapy options for breast cancer patients.
