Elevation Oncology to present initial Seribantumab data at ASCO

Elevation Oncology "announced positive initial clinical proof-of-concept data from its ongoing Phase 2 CRESTONE study evaluating the safety and efficacy of seribantumab in patients with advanced solid tumors that harbor NRG1 gene fusions. These data will be presented at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology, ASCO, Annual Meeting, being held in Chicago from June 3-7, 2022. The efficacy data being presented are from 12 patients evaluable for investigator-assessed response per RECIST v1.1. All patients were treated with seribantumab monotherapy dosed at 3g weekly IV, in Cohort 1 of CRESTONE, which includes patients with no prior pan-ERBB, HER2 or HER3 targeted therapy, with centrally confirmed NRG1 gene fusion status via RNA-based next generation sequencing assay." "The response rate observed in the Cohort 1 patient population, including complete and partial responses, together with early signs of durable responses and a well-tolerated safety profile, demonstrate the potential of seribantumab to become a best-in-class therapy with a differentiated profile for patients whose tumor harbors an NRG1 fusion," said Valerie Malyvanh Jansen, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of Elevation Oncology. "These initial results further support our confidence in the tumor-agnostic clinical development strategy for seribantumab and targeting genomically defined patient populations. We look forward to continuing to advance seribantumab to address the significant unmet needs of patients with NRG1 fusions."
