Q&A highlights
Q: Last quarter, enrollment trends in the CRDF-004 trial were slower than anticipated. Has enrollment held steady or accelerated?
A: Enrollment is tracking well with guidance for initial data readout later this year, leveraging Pfizer Ignite as a partner and the lack of new drugs for RAS-mutated patients in first-line mCRC.
Q: On the pancreatic trial shifting to NALIRIFOX, why be aggressive given NALIRIFOX may not be broadly adopted?
A: NALIRIFOX has 3 of 4 chemo agents already combined with onvansertib in second line, and onvansertib is well tolerated with chemo, confident in adding value to this regimen.
Q: Comment on scientific validation of shifting pancreatic IST to NALIRIFOX and ovarian cancer ADC combinations?
A: Irinotecan synergy is a reason for NALIRIFOX shift, and preclinically exploring onvansertib with ADCs in several cancer areas.
