Q2.

Can you please comment on the Phase 1b/2 Results of Onvansertib (PCM-075) in Combination with FOLFIRI and Bevacizumab for Second–Line Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer in Patients with a KRAS Mutation?Among patients treated per protocol at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D; 15 mg/m2) in combination with FOLFIRI-bev:12 of 35 (34%) achieved an initial complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)10 of 35 (29%) achieved a confirmed CR or PR (awaiting confirmatory scan for 1 patient)33 of 35 (94%) had a best response of disease control (CR + PR + SD)Objective response rates of 5-13% observed in historical control trials in similar patient populations treated with various different drug combinations, including the standard of care chemotherapy of FOLFIRI with bevacizumab1-4Patients evaluable for response treated at all dose levels (12 mg/m2, 15 mg/m2, 18 mg/m2)17 of 48 (35%) achieved an initial CR or PR13 of 48 (27%) have achieved a confirmed CR or PR (awaiting confirmatory scan for 1 patient)44 of 48 (92%) had a best response of disease control (CR + PR + SD)
