Context Tx rises on positive results for ONA-XR in endometrial cancer
Shares of US cancer drug developer Context Therapeutics (Nasdaq: CNTX) were up more than 7% at $0.97 pre-market, after it announced that two patients enrolled in the Phase II OATH trial of ONA-XR plus anastrozole in advanced endometrial cancer) have achieved partial response (tumor shrinkage) to the treatment.
This translates to an overall response rate (ORR) of 22% (two of nine evaluable patients) and strengthens the previously announced positive data from the study (four-month progression free survival (PFS) rate of 77.7%).
“Data from the ongoing Phase II OATH clinical trial supports the potential for ONA-XR plus ANA combination therapy to serve as an effective therapeutic option in metastatic EC. We are encouraged by these findings and look forward to continued enrollment in the trial,” said Martin Lehr, chief executive of Context Therapeutics.
