Additional Information

Clinical Data Bladder Cancer Trial
The Borealis-2™ trial evaluated apatorsen in combination with docetaxel treatment in 200 patients with metastatic bladder cancer whose disease had progressed following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. The primary endpoint analysis met the superiority test for overall survival, performed at a one-sided 0.10 significance level using a stratified log-rank test.
  • Patients who received apatorsen treatment experienced a 20% reduction in risk of death, compared to patients receiving docetaxel alone (overall survival hazard ratio (HR)=0.80; 80% CI: 0.65-0.98; p=0.078).
  • Partial or complete responses occurred in 16.2% patients receiving apatorsen plus docetaxel compared to 10.9% patients receiving docetaxel alone with median response durations of 6.2 months versus 4.4 months, respectively.
  • Higher baseline serum Hsp27 levels were significantly prognostic for indicating an almost 2-fold higher risk of death (HR= 1.96; p=0.0001). In an exploratory analysis on a subset of patients (20% of total) who completed at least two treatment cycles and had either a decrease in serum Hsp27 levels from baseline or had only a 20.5% increase in serum Hsp27 levels from baseline, the reduction in risk of death with apatorsen treatment was 71% (HR= 0.29: 80% CI: 0.18-0.48; interaction p=0.0727).
  • Apatorsen was well tolerated in combination with docetaxel with a median treatment of 2 cycles.
  • The Borealis-2 trial was an investigator-sponsored trial conducted by the Hoosier Cancer Research Network at 28 sites across the United States.
Prostate Cancer Trial
The Pacific™ trial evaluated the ability of apatorsen, when added to Zytiga® (abiraterone acetate), to reverse or delay treatment resistance in 72 men who were experiencing a rising PSA on Zytiga alone. The primary endpoint evaluated the proportion of patients who were progression free (clinical and radiologic) at study day 60 with apatorsen added to Zytiga, compared to continuing Zytiga alone.
  • In men receiving apatorsen, 33% were progression free at study day 60 compared to 17% for those men receiving Zytiga alone.
  • For patients with ≥5 circulating tumor cells (CTCs) at baseline, 22% vs 11% of patients had a CTC reduction to less than 5 CTCs when apatorsen was added to Zytiga vs Zytiga alone, respectively.
  • Apatorsen was well tolerated in combination with Zytiga with a median duration of 106 days.
  • The Pacific trial was an investigator-sponsored trial conducted by the Hoosier Cancer Research Network at sites in Canada and the United States.
