Negative Phase III data on Ipsen's Onivyde

3 August 2022

French drugmaker Ipsen (Euronext: IPN) saw its shares drop as much as 5% in early trading today, as it announced that the Phase III RESILIENT trial did not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival (OS) compared to topotecan.

The trial is evaluating Onivyde (irinotecan liposomal injection) versus topotecan in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), who have progressed on or after platinum-based first-line therapy treatment.

RESILIENT is a Phase III trial conducted in two parts; the first part read out in 2020 confirming the safety, dosing and efficacy of Onivyde; part two is evaluating the efficacy of Onivyde versus topotecan. Detailed results from the RESILIENT trial will be presented at an upcoming medical conference.
