TRACON Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TCON) announced the termination of its ENVASARC pivotal trial after the objective response rate (ORR) in 82 evaluable patients was only 5%, falling short of the 11% required to support a biologics license application (BLA). Consequently, TRACON will explore strategic alternatives, including potential mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales, leveraging its in-house Product Development Platform (PDP), which has been utilized for over 15 oncology trials at more than 120 sites. The company aims to reduce cash burn and improve its position for strategic transactions but cannot guarantee any successful outcomes.
TRACON Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TCON) announced the publication of Phase 2 clinical data on its DNA damage repair inhibitor, TRC102, in recurrent glioblastoma patients.
Published in Clinical Cancer Research, the study evaluated TRC102 combined with Temodar in 19 patients who had progression following initial treatment.
Results showed extended survival in two patients, with progression-free survival of at least 17 months and overall survival over 32 months. Both patients had enriched DNA damage response pathways prior to treatment.
The study confirms the safety and feasibility of TRC102 with Temodar and suggests further trials in biomarker-enriched glioblastoma patients may be warranted.
Additionally, TRC102 is being studied in a Phase 2 trial for non-small cell lung cancer, with primary endpoint determination expected in 2025.
