ORINDA, Calif., May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CG Pharmaceuticals, a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company specializing in metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) maintenance therapy (NCT05249101), will feature one of our investigators, Dr. Christos Fountzilas from Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, at the ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago on June 1st, 1:30 – 4:30 PM CDT, during the Gastrointestinal Cancer session (TPS4206). He will be presenting some of the findings from our completed Phase 1b and study design of the on-going Phase 2 clinical trial. Commencement of treatment for the first patient of Phase 2 began on January 9th, 2024, and the study will continue to recruit patients in approximately 25 institutions throughout the US.

In the Phase 2 study, metastatic PDAC patients who show no evidence of disease progression after treatment with FOLFIRINOX, mFOLFIRINOX or NALIRIFOX will receive either the ivaltinostat/capecitabine combination therapy or capecitabine monotherapy after randomization. The primary endpoint is to evaluate ivaltinostat's effect on improving progression free survival (PFS), while key secondary endpoints include objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and overall survival (OS).
