First Data From Prostate Cancer. PDS announced that it will present interim data from its first trial testing PDS301 with docetaxel (Taxotere) in prostate cancer patients. The presentation will be at the International Cytokine and Interferon Society annual meeting in October 2023. We see acceptance of the PDS0301 data for presentation as positive sign for proof-of-concept and expansion into new indications.

Data Will Be From A Dose-Finding Trial To Establish Responses and Safety. The trial tests the combination of PDS0301 with docetaxel in metastatic prostate cancer. The regimen was given in 3-week cycles consisting of a standard dose of docetaxel with one of three dose levels of PDS0301. The presentation abstract is based on safety, immune responses, and clinical activity data from 18 patients.

Survival Data From The First Two Patients Announced. MAIA Biotechnology announced updated survival data from the first two patients treated in its Phase 2 THIO-101 trial. The patients remain alive without disease progression for 12.2 and 11.5 months from treatment initiation and 10.2 months and 8.5 months after completing THIO treatment. These results compare with expected survival of about 3 months to 4 months after disease progression or about 6 months if a third line of therapy is given. We see these positive results as consistent with the preclinical data.

Patients Were From The Safety Lead-In Stage. The THIO-101 trial enrolls patients with recurrent or metastatic Stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer that have failed 2 lines of therapy. These prior therapies include an immune checkpoint inhibitor and a platinum-based (standard) chemotherapy regimen. The two patients were from the Part A safety verification stage. The patients were treated with 360 mg of THIO followed by a standard regimen of Libtayo (cemiplimab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor from Regeneron). The patients have not received any new cancer therapies.

The Phase 2 VERSATILE-002 Trial Remains Misunderstood. We have received inquiries from investors about the data in the recent ASCO presentation by PDS Biotech. We believe there is some misunderstanding of the trial design, outcome data, and the trial’s definition of efficacy. In view of the fundamental progress and stock price decline, we believe this is a buying opportunity.

Trial Data Has Led To Misinterpretation. The Phase 2 VERSATILE-002 trial has a primary endpoint of best overall response rate (ORR). To be considered a responder, patients need to have tumor shrinkage of at least 30% in two MRI scans. Patients with one positive scan are considered unconfirmed responses until they have a second confirming scan at least 9 weeks later. Both confirmed and unconfirmed responses were reported at the recent ASCO conference.

ASCO Efficacy Data Has Been Updated. PDS Bioscience announced that the Phase 2 VERSATILE-002 trial has met the threshold for efficacy. This is good news for the trial and should help clarify misunderstandings of the data presented at the ASCO conference earlier this month. The Phase 3 trial is expected to begin in 3Q23.

New Data Should Clarify Trial Results.  In our June Research Note, we discussed data from the VERSATILE-002 trial presented at the ASCO annual meeting. This presentation showed a 12-month survival rate of 87% and a progression-free survival rate of 10.4 months. Responses were determined by the RECIST 1.1 criteria, requiring 30% tumor shrinkage. According to the trial protocols, responses seen in the first scan were considered unconfirmed responses until a second confirmatory scan 9 weeks later.

Onconova Therapeutics (ONTX) – New Leukemia Data Presented Supports Wide Range Of Action

Posted on by cpereira@noblefcm.com


Thursday, June 15, 2023

Onconova Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel products for patients with cancer. The Company has proprietary targeted anti-cancer agents designed to disrupt specific cellular pathways that are important for cancer cell proliferation. Onconova’s novel, proprietary multi-kinase inhibitor narazaciclib (formerly ON 123300) is being evaluated in two Phase 1 dose-escalation and expansion studies. These trials are currently underway in the United States and China. Onconova’s product candidate rigosertib is being studied in an investigator-sponsored study program, including in a dose-escalation and expansion Phase 1/2a investigator-sponsored study with oral rigosertib in combination with nivolumab for patients with KRAS+ non-small cell lung cancer.

Robert LeBoyer, Senior Vice President, Equity Research Analyst, Biotechnology, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Data In Mantle Cell Lymphoma Updated. Onconova presented new data testing narazaciclib in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) at the annual International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma, adding to data presented at the AACR meeting in April 2023. The preclinical studies tested the combination of narazaciclib as a single agent or in combination with ibrutinib (Imbruvica from AbbVie, an inhibitor of BTK or Bruton tyrosine kinase), a drug widely used to treat mantle cell lymphoma. Narazaciclib also was tested against approved CDK4/6 inhibitors and showed superior efficacy. 

Presentation Expands On Previous Data. Narazaciclib was tested with ibrutinib in multiple cell lines that are sensitive or resistant to ibrutinib. The combination showed anti-tumor activity that was synergistic compared with either drug alone. The drugs were shown to use separate pathways to downregulate cell cycle checkpoints and lead to G1 cell cycle arrest. This stops the cancer cells reproduction cycle, causing the cell to die. The combination inhibited tumor growth and reduced infiltrations of malignant B-cells in the bone marrow.

Completed Run. Yesterday, MustGrow filed a press release stating the Company successfully completed its initial commercial run-rate production of its mustard plant-based biocontrol liquid via a contract manufacturer. The run-rate of the production reached greater than 5,000 litres per day of the biocontrol liquid.

Revenue Translation. The production of the mustard plant-based biocontrol liquid technology is estimated to equal approximately USD$25 million of annual revenue at a retail level, along with creating zero residual waste through generating a high protein ingredient for animal feed. Based on the trial run, we believe the estimated annual production of the liquid would cover a fraction of the demand, and we estimate the trial run annual production liquid would cover some 25,000-50,000 acres.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Deeper dive into the results.  The electomyography (EMG) detailed analysis confirmed the earlier top-line data released showing the highest dose of BX1000 was comparable to rocuronium (current standard). There was a clear dose response for BX1000 on maximum T1 suppression, with comparable results for the 1.5x ED95  dose of BX1000 and the 2x ED95 dose of rocuronium, strongly suggesting lower BX1000 dosing needed.

What is T1 suppression?  Train of Four (TOF) testing is a method of peripheral nerve stimulation, using electrodes placed along the nerve pathway. An electrical impulse will cause a contraction (twitch). With increased NMB dosing, the twitch response fades, with the fourth (T4) response lost first, then T3, then T2, and finally the first (T1). The number of twitches observed indicates the NMB level achieved, determining the minimum amount needed to achieve the desired effect, while reducing the likelihood of over-paralysis and prolonged muscle weakness. A T1 level of suppression (or one twitch) represents approximately 90% block, a level suitable for short term procedures including intubation.
