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.
